Alia goes back to school!

Bollywood celebrities often treat us with their real-life friendship goals. From Kareena Kapoor and Malaika Arora’s outings to Salman Khan and Sanjay Dutt’s cemented bond, Bollywood is filled with many. And, of course, nothing like going back to your school with your bestie from the industry. One such bond that has grabbed our attention is Alia Bhatt and director Ayan Mukerji’s relationship. The duo who studied together in Jamnabai Narsee School in Mumbai recently attended their reunion, which was organised by the Jamnabai Narsee Alumni Association. 

Alia shared a photo from the event, called Cascade 26, with her bestie Ayan on Instagram and wrote, “Sometimes there’s no better feeling than just going BACK TO SCHOOL.” At the reunion, Alia looked stunning in a black full-sleeved jumpsuit, black shoes and large hoop earrings. With her hair neatly groomed into slight waves, the dimpled beauty looked happy as she stepped out walking hand-in-hand with Ayan. The duo is currently working together for their upcoming project Brahmastra, which is slated to release in summer 2020.

Bake your way to charity

Alia Bhatt will raise funds for an animal welfare organisation through actor Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula Kapoor’s online fundraising platform, Fankind. As part of a campaign on Fankind, a fan will get will get a chance to bake a cake with the star under the guidance of Indian Pastry Chef Pooja Dhingra. Fans have to donate a minimum amount of Rs 300 or multiples thereof and at the end of the campaign period, one fan will be randomly selected to bake a cake with the Udta Punjab actress “The welfare of animals is a cause I truly believe in and funds raised through this unique experience will support World For All, a charitable organisation based in Mumbai that works towards creating a better and safer environment for the cats and dogs living on our streets,” Alia said in a statement. Effectively, 70 per cents of the donations will go to ‘World For All’; an NGO which Alia is closely associated with. — IANS
