Alia Bhatt on Ram Charan’s Sweet Elephant Gesture for Daughter Raha

In a new promotional interview for her recently released film ‘Jigra’, Alia Bhatt spoke about her co-star Ram Charan and disclosed that he has adopted an elephant in her daughter’s name.

“This is a very funny story [from] a month after Raha was born,” Bhatt began to share. “I had stepped down to walk for a bit. Suddenly, I had someone coming and telling me, ‘Ma’am, Ram Charan sir has sent an elephant’. I was stunned.”

She continued, “I was like, ‘Anything can happen: I might have a giant elephant walking in my building right now’. [But] it wasn’t a real elephant. It was a wooden elephant he sent after he adopted an elephant in the wild in Raha’s name.”

“It was such a sweet gesture by him. We call that elephant: Ele, and have kept it near our dining table on the fifth floor. Raha often hops on to it and plays,” concluded the ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ actor.
