Here's how Alia Bhatt wished big sister Pooja Bhatt on her birthday

Alia Bhatt took to Instagram to post a sweet picture of herself with big sister Pooja on the latter's birthday

Yesterday, Pooja Bhatt turned 47. While the actor-filmmaker is making merry in Vietnam, younger sister Alia Bhatt took to social media to wish her. She wrote, "Happy birthday to the strongest and most honest person in our family. You are all things special... my big, beautiful sister (sic)."

Though there is a 22-year age gap between the two, they get along like a house on fire. The duo is teaming up for the sequel to Sadak (1991), which will be helmed by father Mahesh Bhatt. The romantic thriller, which also stars Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur, is slated to roll in April.

On the work front, Alia Bhatt is currently working on Kalank, alongside an ensemble cast that includes Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Sonakshi Sinha, Varun Dhawan, Kunal Khemu, Aditya Roy Kapur and Sanjay Dutt. Alia will also be seen in Brahmastra alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. The actress is also flying high on the success of her latest film, Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, where she plays Ranveer Singh's love interest Safeena Ali.
