After a long chat with her father Mahesh Bhatt on Sunday night, during which he undoubtedly gave her a lot of advice, Alia took off to Bulgaria for the shooting of her upcoming film Brahmastra, choosing to skip Ranbir’s mother Neetu Singh’s birthday celebration in Paris. Though Bulgaria and France are not more than two hours apart by flight, Alia did not make an appearance at the event.

Meanwhile, Neetu’s daughter Riddhima shared some pictures from the party on her social media profiles.





“Bhatt sahab always wants actors to do their best when they are at the peak of their careers. The younger generation does like to mix work with pleasure, but it was on her father’s advice that Alia decided to go to work instead of attending the birthday celebration. It will be interesting to see if Alia does find some time to go to Paris, or if she waits for boyfriend Ranbir to join her for the shoot,” says a source.
