Alia has gone Â­beyond the crutches of her lineage: Sharmila
Sharmila Tagore, in an article on Alia Bhatt, wrote, "Alia has gone Â­beyond the crutches of her lineage. Today, few people call her Mahesh Bhatt's daughter or Pooja Bhatt's sister." "Lineage can at best ease the process of entry," she further wrote. Sharmila added that Alia's ability to laugh at herself makes her "truly" special and "adds to her appeal".
