Alia Bhatt‘s grandfather and Soni Razdan’s father Narendranath Razdan passed away in Mumbai on June 1 at the age of 93. The actress took to Instagram to remember her “hero”, as she posted a video clip from his 92nd birthday celebrations last year. In the video, Ranbir Kapoor too is seen lighting candles on the birthday cake as Alia’s grandfather says, “Smile all the time.”
In her post shared by Alia, she wrote, “My grandpa.
