During an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aishwarya had said how “comforting” it was for Alia to always have Karan providing her one good opportunity after another.


She shared, “I have said this to her also, ‘it’s fantastic for you'. The kind of support Karan has given to her from the beginning, and to have that kind of an establishment with you is very comforting because you know it is not tough. You can have it all laid out for the longest time. And she smiled. It's great where you as an actor know there are only good opportunities ahead.”


The actress further said about Alia, "But what's nice is she is also doing good work, along with great opportunities which are virtually there literally on her lap, regularly."
