Expressing her excitement and passion for films, Alia Bhatt on Sunday said if she ever gets a chance to share screen space with her parents, it would be a blast on the set.
"If three of us work together in a film, it would be a blast on the set. We would be snatching each other&39;s lines. We three are very passionate actors, so if an opportunity comes, we will jump into it as we will get to act and spend time as well," Alia said here at a press conference of the film &39;Your&39;s Truly&39; starring her mother Soni Razdan that is being screened at the 24th Kolkata international Film Festival.
"First time I am attending my mother&39;s press conference, till now it was the other way round. It was strange as well as special seeing mother and father sharing the screen," she said.
The 84-minute film directed by Sanjoy Nag is about the journey of a middle-aged woman who gets attracted to the voice of a station announcer. It is about how she experienced love in her mundane, lonely life.
Alia was elated to see her father Mahesh Bhatt do a cameo in this film alongside her mother.
"I was so engrossed in the film, that I almost forgot that they are my father and mother. I saw them as characters and then it dawned upon me suddenly. Usually, he has been directing her, here he is acting," remarked the heartthrob of Gen-Y.
Taking pride in his wife&39;s and daughter&39;s works, veteran filmmaker Bhatt said: "This moment in Kolkata&39;s Nandan film complex - the main venue of the festival with my family itself is very sacred for me as my wife didn&39;t get that moment in her career that Sanjay has given her and also today&39;s star referring to Alia is here to support. This is like a dream."
Expressing her wish to see her parents onscreen, Alia said: "I feel it is just the beginning and they would probably be coming onscreen for long".
Sharing her love for Kolkata, the youngest of the Bhatt clan said: "As soon as I entered Kolkata, I ordered food in my hotel. I asked for special mustard fish and vegetables. I had to decline the offer of Sandeshsweet as I am on diet. Here I experience a lot of love and warmth".
