Bollywood stars Alia Bhatt and Sidharth Malhotra had dated briefly after their debut Karan Johar film ‘Student of the Year’, alongside Varun Dhawan, in 2012. In one of the latest episodes of Koffee With Karan, Alia reveals more about Sidharth Malhotra and how he had gifted her Edward, her pet cat.
Eleven years after their debut film, Varun and Sidharth, who are now one of the A-listers in Bollywood, were the guests in the recent episode of Karan’s chat show ‘Koffee With Karan’, which entered in its eighth season.
Alia, who has tasted an overwhelming success over the last 11 years, was present virtually in the episode to send her message for the duo.
In the course of her message, the National Award-winning actress revealed she was gifted her cat Edward by Sidharth, whom she had briefly dated.
Amidst her praises for Sidharth, who is now married to actress Kiara Advani, Alia said, “Sid is actually a really good singer. He is a very healthy person, so he doesn’t party at all, but he is the best person to get a party started, so this is the inherent Punjabi in him. He just knows how to get people going, he’s really good…”
“I am very thankful to Sid, because he has given my first love of my life, Edward,” she added.
After ‘Student of the Year’, Alia, who is married to Ranbir Kapoor with whom she has a daughter, starred alongside Sidharth in ‘Kapoor & Sons’, which hit the theatres in 2016.
On the work front, Alia was last seen in Karan’s directorial comeback film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’, which co-starred Ranveer Singh. The film went on to become a blockbuster.
