Why Alia Bhatt didn't turn up to vote in the Lok Sabha elections 2024?
For the unversed, Alia Batt is a British citizen. She had once revealed to her Heart Of Stone co-star Gal Gadot, "My mom was born in Birmingham, but I was born and brought up in India." When Gadot asked her if she spoke British accent, Alia replied, "My grandmother lived in England for her whole life so my grandmother has the English accent."
Talking about her British citizenship, Alia Bhatt's mother Soni Razdan had told Indian Express, "I was born in the UK but when I was three months old, I moved to Bombay. My mother got the British passport for me. We lived in south Bombay and I studied in Bombay International School, which was started by my parents. As for my passport, why should anyone tell me what I should do about it? It is my choice and right as a citizen of the world to decide what passport I want."

Like Alia, Katrina Kaif also holds a British passport as her father Mohammed Kaif, is a British businessman of Kashmiri descent, while her mother Suzanne Turquotte is an English lawyer and charity worker. She had once told Asian Age, "I am an Indian and my father is Indian. I have an Indian heritage. There are many actresses who hold different passports. One could hold a different passport due to various reasons. But my father is Indian and that is my origin. Although my mother is British, India has always been my home. It has been my home since the time I was 17. This is the country in which I live and work."
Vicky and Katrina were both spotted walking hand-in-hand in London recently. The couple apparently is enjoying a vacation there.
