Alia Bhatt Drops Special Birthday Note For ‘Most Generous Person' Karan Johar
Last Updated:
While Alia could not be a part of the celebration due to her work commitments, she shared a heartfelt note for the filmmaker.
Alia Bhatt and Karan Johar undoubtedly share a strong bond over the years. On Karan 's birthday this year, while Alia could not be a part of the celebration due to her work commitments, she shared a heartfelt note for the filmmaker. A candid photo of them from an event accompanied the message. Alia and Karan could be seen smiling and having a fun conversation in the picture.
Alia looked stunning in a dazzling silver gown with mehendi on her hands, suggesting it was a wedding event they both attended. On the other hand, Karan sported a chic black sequin jacket. In the note, she wrote, 'To the most generous person I know.. I love you.. happy birthday K.. so much fomo not being with you todayyy @karanjohar." Alia was most recently in France to attend the Cannes Film Festival.
Karan Johar launched Alia Bhatt into Bollywood with Student of the Year in 2012, and since then, they have collaborated on several hit projects. Some days back, Karan had spoken out in favour of Alia, addressing the ongoing nepotism comments for the actress. Karan has frequently been accused of supporting her since she is Mahesh Bhatt's daughter and helping her advance her career. In a new interview with Baradwaj Rangan for Galatta Plus, Karan said, 'Have you seen Highway? Have you seen Udta Punjab? Have you seen Raazi? Have you seen Gangubai? Just see her movies. If you are still calling her a nepo kid, then you've got to be the most idiotic person on this planet. And no one can help you."
On the work front, Karan Johar's most recent production was Kesari Chapter 2: The Untold Story of Jallianwala Bagh, which starred Akshay Kumar, R Madhavan and Ananya Panday in major parts. The film, which opened in theatres on April 18, has done well at the box office. Next, Karan is also set to produce the sequel to Dhadak which will star Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi.
Alia Bhatt was last seen in Jigra and her fans are eagerly waiting for her spy action thriller Alpha with Sharvari.

Did Janhvi Kapoor ignore Ishaan Khatter at the Cannes Film Festival? Vishal Jethwa reveals what really happened
Rumours of a rift between Janhvi Kapoor and Ishaan Khatter have been circulating after a video from the Cannes Film Festival surfaced, showing Janhvi seemingly ignoring Ishaan's hand on the red carpet, sparking speculation about cold vibes between the Dhadak co-stars. However, Vishal Jethwa has stepped forward to address these rumours. Also read: Ishaan Khatter says Neeraj Ghaywan told him to lose his muscles for Homebound: 'Don't want to see a single sinew' In the clip, Janhvi seems to brush off Ishaan's offered hand while walking the red carpet and then entering the venue, sparking speculation about tension between the two actors. In an interview with Zoom, Vishal spoke about the viral video and buzz around trouble between the lead pair, Ishaan and Janhvi. He said, 'Maine Ishaan aur Janhvi ko kaam karte dekha hai aur wo bohot hi comfortably kaam kar sakte hain. Wo dono ek doosre ke well-wisher hain. Bohot ache se baat karte hain (I've seen Ishaan and Janhvi work together and they are very comfortable with each other. They are well-wishers and talk very nicely to one another)'. Talking about the video, Vishal shared, "At Cannes, I remember holding her outfit's trail and was struggling to figure out how to hold it properly. I was just trying to help her. And when Janhvi was climbing up, Ishaan was offering his hand. She was holding her clothes, which is probably why she didn't take his hand." Defending Janhvi, Vishal asserted that she is very sensible and would 'never do anything disrespectful'. He shared that no one in the team is thinking about the video of the incident. At the Cannes Film Festival, Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound had its world premiere at the Un Certain Regard section. The film received a 9-minute standing ovation. Homebound's premise, as per the official website of Cannes Film Festival, reads, 'Two childhood friends from a small North Indian village chase a police job that promises them the dignity they've long been denied. But as they inch closer to their dream, mounting desperation threatens the bond that holds them together'. Neeraj and Sumit Roy has written the script of Homebound. The film is produced by Karan Johar, Adar Poonawalla, Apoorva Mehta, and Somen Mishra. The co-producers include Marijke de Souza and Melita Toscan Du Plantier. Academy Award-winning director Martin Scorsese has turned executive producer for the film.

Homebound Cinematographer Pratik Shah's Ex Accuses Him of Abuse: "That Would Have Been Rape If He Wasn't My Boyfriend"
Fresh allegations against Homebound cinematographer Pratik Shah have surfaced. His former partner has accused him of sexual and physical abuse. In a recent blog post, she shared disturbing details of the abuse. This isn't the first time she has spoken up against Shah. She previously levelled allegations of sexual and physical abuse against Shah in a Facebook update from 2015. While she doesn't name Shah directly in the blog, she said she is choosing to speak up again because "people need to know the truth". The former girlfriend's detailed blog paints a harrowing picture of emotional manipulation, physical violence, and sexual abuse during their relationship. The blog recounts a pattern of possessive and controlling behaviour, culminating in sexual assault. "That summer, he asked me for my Gmail and Facebook passwords, and in return gave me his. I remember the rage that flew through him when he saw that I had flirted with a guy over Facebook... He screamed in my face that he would kill himself," she writes. She also details a chilling escalation of violence. "The day that I found out that he had been cheating on me was the day he pushed me into a shelf. I should've reported it then, when the neighbours called the police. I didn't." The most serious charge is related to an incident on her birthday weekend, according to the blog post. "I won't get into the details of this situation that consumes me every day, but you get the point. 'No' wasn't an option," she writes, later adding, "That would have been considered rape if he wasn't my boyfriend." "Never, in a million years, would I have thought I would be a 'survivor of abuse'," she writes. Shah had most recently worked as director of photography on Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound, which premiered at the 78th Cannes Film Festival to critical acclaim. Several allegations about Shah's inappropriate behaviour surfaced online last week, following Dharma Productions -- the banner behind Homebound -- distanced itself from Shah. As these allegations resurfaced, sources confirmed that Shah has been dropped from the high-profile Sourav Ganguly biopic. Dharma Productions, reportedly associated with the film, issued a brief statement: "We stand firmly against any form of abuse or misconduct. The concerned individual is no longer associated with any of our upcoming projects." Ghaywan is yet to issue a statement on allegations against Shah, who has deactivated his Instagram account since the controversy broke. The filmmaker on Monday shared an Instagram appreciation post for his Homebound team but skipped thanking the cinematographer. This is not the first time Bollywood has had to reckon with allegations of abuse from within its ranks. The resurgence of this 2015 post echoes the wave of #MeToo accounts that flooded the industry in 2018, prompting renewed conversations about accountability and silence. Pratik Shah is yet to respond publicly to the allegations.
