He had fans in every part of the world. My God, the way he would be mobbed in foreign countries. We didn’t travel together much, except for shootings when we got to spend time together. We would sign lots of films together so we could spend time together.”The actor said she misses him every minute. “I miss him every single minute. I keep asking myself, is he really gone? When will I meet him again?” she added.This year’s BAFTA ceremony was of great significance to India. Alia Bhatt took the internet by storm as she presented an award in Hindi at the ceremony.
