Alia Bhatt's mom knows the best

Alia Bhatt, who was shooting for Imtiaz Ali's film in Rajasthan, received a pleasant surprise last weekend. It was her birthday and mum Soni Razdan had flown all the way from Mumbai to Jaipur to spend the day with her.

A source says, "Soni straight went to the sets to surprise Alia. The young actress didn't want to take a break on her special day. She was keen to complete the schedule on time. The unit had planed a small celebration for her on the sets. She wasn't expecting her mother at all."

The actress, who turned 20, was apparently very excited to see her mother. "Though she was very tired from the shoot schedule, all her exhaustion vanished the moment she set eyes on her mom. It was followed by the cake cutting ceremony and a small celebration," adds the source.
