It comes to notice that she did not make any mention of Emraan Hashmi, who played opposite to Yami and is also a cousin of hers, possibly because she chose to highlight and praise the film’s strong female character representation.

Emraan Hashmi and Alia Bhatt share a family connection as cousins; Emraan is filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s nephew, while Alia is Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, linking them through the Bhatt family on their mother’s side. Both haven’t spoken much about the other in public.
