The post comes just weeks after Shaheen Bhatt made her relationship with fitness coach Ishaan Instagram official. She had shared a sweet birthday post featuring cozy moments, lovingly calling him “Sunshine.” Alia had joined in the celebrations online, reposting the tribute with the caption: “happy happy birthday, our fav fellow.” The love and warmth extended across the Bhatt clan, with family members like Soni Razdan and Neetu Kapoor chiming in, proving that Ishaan has been lovingly welcomed into their inner circle.

Beyond the red carpets and cinema sets, the two share a deep emotional connection.Their bond now extends to Shaheen’s partner as well, with Alia embracing Ishaan’s presence with genuine affection and ease—a gesture that speaks volumes about the kind of strong, grounded family the Bhatts are.
While Alia enjoys precious downtime with her loved ones, her professional calendar remains just as exciting. She’s currently busy filming Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s highly anticipated film Love & War alongside husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
She is also set to make her Cannes Film Festival debut this year, appearing at the prestigious event's closing ceremony. This marks another major milestone for the Gangubai Kathiawadi star on the international stage.
