Alia Bhatt is eagerly anticipating the release of her upcoming film Jigra, set to hit theaters on October 11. During a recent promotional event, she had a touching encounter with an elderly fan, a face she seemed to recall from the past. Her reaction—lighting up at the sight of him—created a heartfelt moment that blended past memories with present warmth.
A viral video from the event captures Alia engaging in a brief, friendly chat with the older gentleman, expressing a desire to reconnect before departing. Fans have praised her for her humility and genuine demeanor.
The video prompted various reactions online: one user admired Alia’s humility beyond her celebrity status, another highlighted her beauty, and a third noted a poignant moment where the elderly man, who didn’t ask for a selfie but showed respect, received her support. There is speculation that the elderly fan might be Tajinder Singh Teji, known as a bodyguard for Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza, though this has not been confirmed. Additionally, social media buzzed with comments comparing Alia’s hairstyle to that of her mother-in-law, Neetu Kapoor, with fans noting the striking resemblance.
Jigra features Vedang Raina, who returns to the big screen after The Archies on Netflix. The film, directed by Vasan Bala and produced by Dharma Productions and Alia Bhatt’s Eternal Sunshine Productions, is highly anticipated.
