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. A month before you were born I had a dream. I saw your face clearly in that dream. Since then in these 25 years you have scaled great heights in your young life... true to your name. On this day, your birthday, I wish you all the best as always... but I also wish that you keep your core self intact. Your special simple sweet self intact through all the craziness and the heady ups and the not so heady downs of life ... don't lose sight of who you really are inside. Because it's that self that will be your guide and your most precious companion. Wish we were with you today... Happy Birthday sweetheart. Have a glass for me. Love always ... Mama

Alia also has an elder sister - Shaheen Bhatt while Pooja and Rahul Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt's children with first wife Kiran Bhatt) are her half-siblings.

Alia made her first appearance on the big screen as a child artist when she featured in her father's film Sangharsh (1990), starring Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta and Ashutosh Rana.

Alia is reportedly having a working birthday in Bulgaria, where she is shooting for her forthcoming project Brahmastra, also starring Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. Next she has Gully Boy, Raazi and a cameo appearance in Zero in the pipeline.

Happy Birthday, Alia Bhatt!
