My relationship with my family has evolved: Alia Bhatt

Actress Alia Bhatt has shifted to a new house with her sister, and says her relationship with her family members especially parents has only evolved over the years. Alia said, "I am not living all alone. I am living with my sister. I feel my relationship with my family has evolved. Every relationship evolves with time. We are going through a phase where we are like friends like my mother, my father.

"We are busy living our own lives, but we find a great amount of comfort with each other. Earlier, we were not interacting in that way. Now it has kind of changed, it's become different.” After proving her versatility with films like ‘Highway’ and ‘Udta Punjab’, she is now looking forward to yet another fresh performance in ‘Dear Zindagi’, which sees her sharing the frame with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. It is directed by Gauri Shinde.

"Gauri is a strong woman and very focused. She knows exactly what she wants. I don't see any difference between a man director and a women director. She is a very unique director. She talks about simple things in a simple way and they have such a profound effect on you," the 23-year-old said.
