Alia Bhatt’s maternal grandfather Narendra Razdan is in a critical condition
Actor Alia Bhatt's maternal grandfather Narendra Razdan is currently in the hospital in a critical condition. Alia, who was scheduled to travel abroad for the IIFA awards, has now cancelled her trip.
In a report by ETimes, a source closer to the family revealed, "Mr. Narendra Razdan is Soni Razdan's father and Alia's grandfather. He has been in the Breach Candy hospital for quite some time now. He had a lung infection which got worse. In the morning the family got a distress call that the doctors wanted to shift him to the ICU. There was a decision taken not to take him to the ICU, but to make him comfortable within the room. He's 95 and as of now he's in the sunset hours. Alia turned back from the airport because she didn't want to be there at the award function while her grandfather was going through a very vulnerable time."
Meanwhile, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Alia Bhatt-starrer 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' bagged three technical awards at the IIFA Rock night, which marked the beginning of the three-day 23rd edition of the International Indian Film Academy and Awards (IIFA) at Yas Island on Friday night.
