New Delhi: Alia Bhatt spoke with Forbes about her relationship with Isha Ambani, who also happens to be the actor's business partner.

Alia gave birth to her first child, Raha Kapoor, in November 2022. On November 19, 2022, Isha Ambani and her businessman husband Anand Piramal also welcomed twins - daughter Aadiya and boy Krishna. Speaking about her relationship with Isha, Alia Bhatt said, "I am so glad that we found a partnership with Reliance. Isha Ambani and I are very good friends. We both happened to give birth around the same time. My daughter and her twins are almost a week apart. So this all also happened at the same time. Suddenly, we were like ‘Both of us are mothers’."
"Now, my whole perspective on Ed-a-Mamma as a brand was so personal. It was just like coming from within, as opposed to looking at it as just a business venture. So, it all happened beautifully, literally at the same time... Being a mother has made me a better everything," she added.
