Mother Soni Razdan was among the first few to comment on the photo. “All three have the same smile,” she wrote even as Alia and Shaheen’s half sister, actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt, could not stop sending love to the family. “Awww, love, love, LOVE this photo,” she wrote with a lot of heart emoticons.

Mahesh recently opened up about Shaheen’s battle with depressions, saying she came to the point of contemplating suicide when she was 12 or 13. “My daughter Shaheen, Alia’s elder sister, she, at the age of 16 discovered finally that she is suffering from clinical depression. In October, she is launching her own memoir in which she has talked about the kind of struggle she has gone through in that phase,” he said during a media interaction, adding, “She also came to a point of attempting a suicide at the age of 12-13 so this is the truth of my own house.”

After the suicides of Anthony Bourdain and designer Kate Spade, Shaheen had written in Vogue, “I was crying because every time I hear of someone who was unable to go on living with the darkness within them, I’m reminded of how that could have just as easily been me.”
