Ahead of the theatrical release of Alia Bhatt’s film “Alpha” on July 3, her mother Soni Razdan shares a family photograph featuring four generations of women from the Bhatt-Razdan family. Posting the picture on Instagram, Razdan introduces her 97-year-old mother as the family’s “OG Alpha,” tying the personal tribute to the film’s title. The image includes Alia Bhatt, who is holding her daughter Raha, Razdan, Alia’s grandmother, and another elder family member, with several women posed together across generations.
Razdan also recounts her mother’s early life and survival during World War II, describing how her mother escaped Nazi Germany as a child and later endured hardships while moving through other European locations. She says the family eventually reached the UK via a Jewish kinder transport train and later started a new life in India after meeting and marrying NN Razdan. The posts frame the tribute around long-running family resilience and the roles of mothers and grandmothers across generations.
