Exclusive! Alia Bhatt introduces you the love of her life, Edward the cat

It’s raining men for Bollywood’s most endearing young star. But, Alia Bhatt prefers it when it’s raining cats and dogs instead!

I didn’t follow Alia Bhatt’s Instagram account before her kitten, Edward (also fondly called Eddie), came into her life. That was when I realised that she, like me, is cat crazy and unapologetic about it. One mention of her pet and Alia can go on and on about all the amazing vibes a furry friend can bring into one’s life.

Choose the right name for your cat

“Give them proper names! Name them after your favourite TV characters, like Khaleesi or Arya, or after brands, like Jacqueline Fernandez named her cat Miu Miu.”

“Don’t name them Poo, Choo, Voo…. These aren’t names, these are sounds!”

Is it true that cats have slaves, dogs have masters? Alia laughs and says, “It’s a little true, don’t you agree?”
Just like she loves cats, Alia loves dogs too and would love to have one ((Alia Bhatt wears a top from Three, skirt from Rara Avis, shoes from Zara and bracelet from Pipa+Bella) (Abhay Singh)

Which animal do the following resemble? Alia gets catty

Karan Johar- “Dog, because he is so loving”

Siddharth Malhotra- “horse, as he has a great body”

Varun Dhawan- “Rabbit, because....just!”

Kareena Kapoor- “Tigress, she’s strong and fierce”
