While talking to Indianexpress.com, Alia said, “the time when Jigra came to me, I was going through my most tigress, protective phase. It is possibly why I went mad about the material. It really, really spoke to me. Maybe it would have spoken to me prior as well, but it spoke to me very differently. It hit a different chord. Maybe something else must have come out of that. It is not like I can measure or mould that, but motherhood does make a difference.”
Talking about how motherhood has a deep influence on her daily life, the actress said, ” It really is inexplicable what motherhood does to you because it is ever so changing and evolving. As your relationship with your child blooms, your soul also evolves with that. You are just soaking it when it happens. I am someone with very high empathy so whenever I choose a script or read a certain material, that empathetic part of me is wide open and it is all about how deep that subject hits, entertains or stirs.”
She added, “The change that has happened is that my empathy has gone higher, I am way more sensitive. So anything now to do with family, protection… Not that I wasn’t a family person earlier. You love your parents, your sister, but something changes when you become a parent yourself. There is a very primal, protection feeling that comes in. I don’t know how that affects my choices, I just know that in terms of my sensibilities it has magnified.”
Earlier, in an interview with News18, when asked how it was working with the Vedang Raina in the movie, Alia said, “Vedang is just sublime. He plays my brother in the film. I am not going to say much about the relationship we share in the film, but I can definitely say that we had a very seamless, easy-going work relationship.”
Besides ‘Jigra’, Alia is all set for an action-packed spy thriller with Yash Raj Films in the famous ‘Spy-verse’. She will also begin shooting for ‘Love & War’ with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where she will reunite with her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and her ‘Raazi’ co-star, Vicky Kaushal.
