Mahesh Bhatt, in a recent chat with a news channel, said that this is one role that will be a little difficult to play. On being asked how he is feeling about becoming a grandpa soon, he told Aaj Tak, “Yeh ek aisa role hai jisko nibhaana zara mushkil hoga (This is one role that will be a little difficult to play).”
He added, “I am yet to come out of the father’s role. When you have a daughter who is so talented, and you’re so proud of all her achievements and you realise that she is going to become a mother soon, then you look at the sky and wonder about the beauty of life and nature.”

In an earlier interview, Mahesh had called Alia and Ranbir’s pregnancy “astounding” news and said, “There’s another universe which is going to descend in our backyard and in our life.” He also said that Alia and Ranbir’s child will be unique. “The child, who will be born… There has never been a child like the one which is coming soon, and never will there be a child. Every child that is born is unique and unrepeatable,” the 73-year-old filmmaker told Hindustan Times.
Alia, who was shooting for her first international project Heart Of Stone in Europe, returned to India last week. As soon as the actor arrived, her parents Mahesh Bhatt, Soni Razdan and sister Shaheen Bhatt visited the soon-to-be-mum at her residence in Bandra, Mumbai.
