Alia Bhatt’s RRR co-star, Ram Charan, adopted an elephant in her daughter Raha’s name. Alia made this revelation in a recent chat and said that she appreciated this sweet gesture. Alia said that while she, Jr NTR and Ram Charan couldn’t spend much time together while shooting the film, they got close during promotions.
Alia told Suresh Productions in a recent chat, “Tarak, Ram Charan, and I, we couldn’t spend a lot of time together on the sets of RRR due to different schedules, but around promotions, we became very close.”
She said, “This is a very funny story. A month after Raha was born, I had stepped down to walk for a bit. Suddenly, I had someone coming and telling me, ‘Ma’am, Ram Charan sir has sent an elephant.’ I was stunned. I was like, ‘Anything can happen: I might have a giant elephant walking in my building right now.’”
She added, “It wasn’t a real elephant. It was a wooden elephant he sent after he adopted an elephant in the wild in Raha’s name. It was such a sweet gesture by him. We call that elephant: Ele, and have kept it near our dining table on the fifth floor. Raha often hops on to it and plays.”
Ram Charan has often spoken highly of Alia and admired her acting chops. Ram Charan previously told Mid Day, “I have been an admirer of her work since Highway. After Raazi, I became her fan. After working with her, I understood why people love her so much. There were times when I didn’t get my Telugu lines properly, but she got them bang-on. She was a thorough professional.”
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt is currently seen in Jigra with Vedang Raina. The film is directed by Vasan Bala and co-produced by the actress and Karan Johar. The film has opened to mixed reviews and is facing competition at the box office from Vicky Aur Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, starring Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri. Alia Bhatt is also shooting for her YRF spy-verse film, Alpha, with Sharvari and Bobby Deol.
