As excitement builds for the release of the upcoming spy-thriller Alpha, Alia Bhatt’s mother, Soni Razdan, recently posted a picture featuring four generations of their family, including Alia and her daughter, Raha. The post serves as a tribute to the “OG Alpha” of their family, Alia’s grandmother.
Along with the image, Soni wrote an emotional note, writing, “One OG ALPHA woman and four generations in one frame! Alia’s Nani, who is all of 97 years young. No, it’s not her birthday today, but on the eve of her granddaughter’s release, she wanted to wish her this way.”
Soni shared a reflection on her mother’s journey and resilience. She wrote, “My mother escaped Nazi Germany when she was just 6 years old. Although German and not Jewish, they had to run because my grandfather was a brave man and went openly against Hitler. After a few years in Czechoslovakia, enduring many a hardship, she and her family landed up in the UK, escaping on a Jewish kinder transport train. The trials she faced were many.”
Talking about her mother’s life in India, Soni added, “Then she met and married NN Razdan and finally started a new life in India. Alpha women exist in many different ways. They’re all around us. But ultimately I think all our mothers and grandmothers are Alpha women. Drop a heart if you agree… Would love to hear about some Alpha women that you know! Do share them with me.”
Alpha, directed by Shiv Rawail introduces Alia as the YRF Spy Universe’s first female spy. The film has been cleared by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) with a UA 16+ certificate. It is set for a worldwide theatrical release on July 3, with a runtime of 140 minutes.
The film features an ensemble cast led by Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, with Bobby Deol and Anil Kapoor playing key roles. It stands as the seventh movie in the YRF Spy Universe, following films such as Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai, War, Pathaan, Tiger 3, and War 2.
