Alia shared on her Instagram story: “Love. There’s no argument, no matter how strong, that can overcome that word.” She accompanied the post with ‘The Good Word’ hashtag.

While promoting her Hollywood debut ‘Heart of Stone’, co-starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan, Alia had answered the most Googled questions about her and one of them was, “Is Alia Bhatt British?” As Gal Gadot asked Alia in a video for Wired if she is a British citizen, the ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ star nodded and said, “My mom was born in Birmingham, but I was born and brought up in India.” When Gal Gadot asked her, “She spoke British English with you your entire life?”, Alia replied, “My grandmother lived in England for her whole life so my grandmother has the English accent.”

Although Alia's mother Soni Razdan was born in the United Kingdom, she spent the majority of her life in India. She stated to the well-known news website, “I was born in the UK but when I was three months old, I moved to Bombay. My mother got the British passport for me. We lived in south Bombay and I studied in Bombay International School, which was started by my parents. As for my passport, why should anyone tell me what I should do about it? It is my choice and right as a citizen of the world to decide what passport I want.”
