This had made the celebrity daughter feel left out among her friends for two consecutive years. She mentioned that all her friends had their mobile phones when they were 11. Talking about the heart-wrenching moment when she got her phone, Alaya said:

“It was like a principle that she (Pooja Bedi) had when she felt like a mobile phone wasn’t necessary, especially back then. I remember when I finally got a phone, I started crying with happiness because I was two years later than all my friends.”

For the unversed, Alaya Furniturewalla is rumoured to be dating Bal Thackeray's grandson, Aaishvary Thackeray. However, every now and then, she had dismissed all the dating rumours. For instance, in an interview with Bombay Times, Alaya had revealed the truth behind the rumours and stated,

"If you are being talked about, that's always great! You shouldn't take these reports too seriously. Aaishvary is a wonderful friend and an extremely talented person. These stories used to spark curiosity amongst my near and dear ones, but now even they are used to it."

"As far as my personal life is concerned, I don't stress about it as much as I do about my professional life. I feel your personal life should fall into place naturally. You should only work on being the best version of yourself every day. That's what I did throughout the lockdown. It was all about me thinking about myself and not about any other person."
