Alia Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt

Last week, the Bhatt household was filled with horror after an extortionist from Uttar Pradesh threatened filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, saying he will "pump his actress-daughter Alia and wife Soni Razdan with bullets" if he doesn't cough up Rs 50 lakh. While Mahesh confesses he was concerned about the safety of the two, a chat with Alia helped calm frayed nerves.
