Alia Bhatt, Here Are Your Birthday Wishes From Parents Mahesh Bhatt And Soni Razdan

New Delhi: "Such a big miracle in such a little girl! Happy birthday, Alia," wrote Mahesh Bhatt, adding an old picture of himself with the actress. Alia Bhatt, currently shooting for Brahmastra in Bulgaria, turns 25 today. On Instagram, her mother Soni Razdan shared a collage of Alia's pictures and revealed how her name was decided. "On this day 25 years ago, you were born, Alia. Your name had already been chosen in my head. Alia Knightly was a lovely British Indian model and when I read that name, I had decided if I had a girl we would call her Alia. Luckily your father agreed. I had no idea what the name meant then. It was many years later that I found out it means 'exalted'. And that you most certainly are," read an excerpt from Ms Razdan's post.

Alia Bhatt debuted in Bollywood in 2012 with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year, co-starring Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. She is the stars of films like Highway, 2 States and Udta Punjab.

This morning, she shared two pictures from her forthcoming film Raazi and revealed that the trailer will be released on April 9. "Happy birthday to me," Alia wrote.
