Alia Bhatt broke down on camera during the interview with the regret of not being supportive to her sister. She initially tried to engage Shaheen in various activities, but later she recognized that managing depression isn't a quick fix and realized simply being there for her sister, offering unconditional love and support, is useful.
Alia also highlighted the importance of understanding people around us without judging. She further explained, saying, 'When people aren't willing to do anything, we often label them as boring. But we won't be ready to look at the backstory or struggle that person is facing. Instead, if we can try to understand their silence and just offer them a shoulder to lean on or can just sit with them, it would make their day better. Instead of judging, Alia chose to be there for her family and friends to not repeat the mistake that she made with her sister, Shaheen Bhatt.
