Did You Know Alia Bhatt Gifted Rs 50 Lakh Each To Her Driver And House Help To Buy Houses?
In 2019, Alia Bhatt gifted ₹50 lakh each to her driver and house help, helping them buy 1BHK homes in Mumbai. She considers them family. Alia Bhatt made her big Bollywood debut with Student of the Year in 2012, and since then, there has been no looking back for the actress. She has been ruling hearts with one blockbuster performance after another. While the actress continues to scale new heights, she hasn't forgotten the people who have been with her since the very first day of her career. The actress has always taken care of her close ones and reportedly considers her house help and driver as family members. In 2019, she even extended major financial assistance to both. Alia Bhatt reportedly gave ₹50 lakh each to her driver and domestic help, hoping they would use the money to buy a new house for themselves. As per a report in on her birthday in 2019, Alia gifted ₹50 lakh each to Sunil and Amol — two of the closest people in her life who have been by her side since the beginning of her career in 2012. Treating them like family, the actress's generous gesture reportedly helped both of them buy their own 1 BHK flats in Mumbai's Juhu and Khar areas. While Alia has been very generous to everyone on her staff, she recently witnessed a shocking incident where her former personal assistant, Vedika Prakash Shetty, allegedly swindled money from Bhatt's production house — Eternal Sunshine Productions Pvt. Ltd. — and from the actress' accounts. While the investigation is underway and more details are awaited, Alia or her team has not issued any statement regarding the matter as of now. The actress's mother, Soni Razdan, had filed a complaint against Vedika Prakash Shetty earlier this year with the police. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is currently busy with her Spy Universe movie — Alpha. The film also stars Sharvari Wagh in the lead and will be released on December 25, 2025. Besides this, Alia will soon reunite with her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal in the lead. Alia also has Farhan Akhtar's Jee Le Zara in her pipeline. The film will also star Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra in the lead. However, there is no update on the film's shoot schedule as of now First Published: July 18, 2025, 16:56 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
