Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are two of the most talented actors in Bollywood. They are immensely admired by many people in the film industry. Recently, actor Manoj Pahwa admitted that the duo is quite amazing. Seema Pahwa, who has worked with Alia in Gangubai Kathiawadi, recalled a heartwarming gesture made by the latter on the sets of the film.

In a recent conversation with Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush, Manoj Pahwa shared that he has worked with Ranbir Kapoor on a few advertisements and shot a film with Alia Bhatt. He mentioned that he had worked with Ranbir’s father, Rishi Kapoor, as well as his grand uncle, Shammi Kapoor. Pahwa recalled Ranbir once humorously telling him, “Sir, hopefully aap mere bachchon ke sath bhi kaam karenge (Sir, hopefully you will work with my children also).”

Manoj Pahwa conveyed his admiration for Ranbir and Alia as actors. He said, “Bahut hi kamaal ke hain dono (Both are amazing).” He also called them a ‘power couple.’

Seema Pahwa, who was part of the movie Gangubai Kathiawadi, shared her experience working with Alia Bhatt. She stated that she didn’t know what to expect from Alia since she was from the new generation. However, Seema ji expressed, “Magar bahut hi zyada izzat dena, badon se baat kaise kari jaati hai (But she gives a lot of respect and knows how to talk to elders).”

The senior actress also talked about a gesture by Alia that made her respect her more. She shared that the film Gangubai Kathiawadi was mostly shot at night. Seema mentioned that there was a young girl who was a junior artist in the film. She said that the girl was part of a scene where she had to go to sleep and then say a dialogue. 

Seema Pahwa stated that it was quite late at night and the girl was actually feeling sleepy, so many retakes were being made. The actress revealed that she saw Alia telling the girl that she would tap her on the shoulder and then she should say the dialogue.

The veteran actress added that Alia helped the girl. She continued, “Mujhe laga kitna accha gesture usne dikhaya hai bina kisi ko bataye, bina woh obvious kiye. Kyunki mai waha khadi thi aur maine note kiya (I felt what a nice gesture she showed without telling anyone or making it obvious. Because I was there, I noted).” She concluded by saying, “Yeh insaaniyat jo hoti hai sabse badi cheez hoti hai (This humanity is the greatest thing).”
