In the same interview, Karan also revealed how he felt parental about Alia. He shared that he loves and respects her and added that he is allowed to vent his heart out. In his words:
"She's the first person I felt parental about. She's the first person I felt like I had a parental instinct for. I love her and the country knows she's one of our finest actors. I have a tremendous amount of love, respect and admiration and I am allowed to say what I want about her. So, if I cry at her good news and I really feel good then I am allowed to. I am like a parent to her. Why should I be pretending for optics. I genuinely love her and I want to say it all the time."

Earlier, in an interview with Etimes, Karan had spilt how Alia broke her news of pregnancy with Ranbir Kapoor to him. He shared that he began to cry soon after he learned that Alia would be a mother soon. In Karan's words:
"I cried. She came to my office. I remember having a bad hair day, and I was sitting in a hoodie with cap. And she told me this. And my first reaction was, tears just came out, and Alia came and gave me a hug. I remember saying, 'I can't believe you are having a baby'. It feels like your baby is having a baby. It was a very emotional moment for me, it still is!"

Thank you for being YOU and for being the wind beneath the wings of this labour of love. I love you always and forever."
