Alia Bhatt marked her Hollywood debut with actors Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in the recently-released Netflix film ‘Heart of Stone.’ In a recent interview with BBC Asia Network, Alia revealed that Gal was one of the first few people to know about her pregnancy. When asked if she ever thought about quitting the action film due to her pregnancy, she recalled that Gal was “extremely caring” towards her.
Alia said, “I felt very protected and comfortable. You don’t really talk about being pregnant until you are way into your first trimester; so I was not telling many people. But I did confide in Gal Gadot, I did confide in my producers and the director (Tom Harper) because they had to know. They were all so lovely and supportive and excited that I never for once doubted it at all.”
She added, “In fact, I remember we were once shooting, I am not going to talk much about it, but it was really hot and Gal was really bothered about my hydration and she was telling me to keep myself hydrated, asking me to drink enough water. She’d say, ‘You need to keep yourself hydrated’. So, that’s the kind of person she is and she exudes warmth and she is also extremely caring about everybody on her crew and she is wonderful with her actors as well. So yes, I felt too comfortable.”
Months after marrying actor Ranbir Kapoor, Bhatt gave birth to their first child, Raha Kapoor, in November 2022. The actor, who was recently seen alongside Ranveer Singh in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,’ shot for ‘Heart of Stone’ in Europe during her pregnancy last year.
