Alia Bhatt's "heart is full of sorrow" following the death of her grandfather.

The 'Gully Boy' actress is mourning the loss of her "hero", Narendra Nath Razdan, after he passed away at the age of 94, but she is also looking back with "joy" to have spent so many years with him around her and their family.

Alia shared a video from her grandfather's 92nd birthday celebrations and captioned her Instagram post on Thursday (01.06.23): “My grandpa. My hero.

"Played golf till 93. Worked till 93. Made the best omelette. Told the best stories. Played the violin. Played with his great granddaughter. Loved his cricket. Loved his sketching. Loved his family + till the very last moment.. loved his life!

"My heart is full of sorrow but also full of joy .. because all my grandpa did is give us joy + for that feel blessed and grateful to have been brought up by all the light he had to give! Until we meet again (sic)".

Alia recently missed IIFA 2023, where she won the Best Actor award in a Leading Role (female) for 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'.

It was claimed at the time she had opted not to attend the event so she could be with her unwell grandfather.

The 30-year-old star later expressed her gratitude for her win.

She wrote on her Instagram Story: “Thank you so much IIFA. Sorry, I couldn't be there in person to receive the award. A special thank you to the audience for your constant support. This brings me and the enjoy team so much joy!”
