Shaheen Bhatt pens letter to Alia Bhatt: ‘I’ve watched as you’ve weathered incomparable loss, shed old roles and adopted new ones’

Alia Bhatt recently featured on a magazine cover, shot by her sister Shaheen Bhatt. Shaheen wrote a heartfelt letter to her younger sister, Alia, about how the actor has evolved in recent months.

Alia Bhatt recently found a new but amazing photographer in sister Shaheen Bhatt as she posed for the latest issue of Elle magazine. Shaheen has not just shown her photography skills but has also penned a heartfelt letter to Alia about how the actor has evolved as a person in the recent months.

Shaheen Bhatt and Alia Bhatt share a great bond as sisters.

Addressing Alia in the letter, which has been published in the magazine, Shaheen wrote, “There is no introduction for the readers about who the ‘real’ Alia is because the way I see it, there is no secret Alia, no version of you that’s cloaked in disguise.”

Shaheen treasures the time the two sisters have spent together during lockdown. “Through this pandemic, and the last few months in lockdown the bright spot in an otherwise bleak time has been the time we’ve spent together. It has been through this time that I’ve watched the sparks of understanding blossom into a full-blown self-realisation. And there is something truly astonishing in that – being a silent observer to the poetry in motion that is someone’s emotional evolution,” she wrote.

Talking about how Alia dealt with all of it, Shaheen wrote, “In these past few months, I have witnessed you display the sort of resilience and emotional stoutness that I could only have dreamed of for you. I’ve watched as you’ve weathered incomparable loss and become acquainted with the unfamiliar texture of grief. As you’ve shed old roles and adopted new ones. As you’ve sifted with remarkable gentleness through external onslaught for fragments of insight and gratitude.”

She concluded how Alia has evolved as a person after these tough times and wrote, “The highs and lows of the past few months have in no way reduced you, on the contrary, I have watched in astonishment as it has only enlarged your spirit, cementing your commitment to being truthful to who you are.”
