The Jigar star shared the Game Changer actor sent an elephant to her house, which shocked her.
Speaking about her bond with her RRR co-stars, Alia told Suresh Productions, “Tarak, Ram Charan, and I, we couldn’t spend a lot of time together on the sets of RRR due to different schedules, but around promotions, we became very close.”
She shared a very unique surprise Ram Charan sent her way after Raha’s birth. She said, “This is a very funny story. A month after Raha was born, I had stepped down to walk for a bit. Suddenly, I had someone coming and telling me, ‘Ma’am, Ram Charan sir has sent an elephant.’ I was stunned. I was like, ‘Anything can happen: I might have a giant elephant walking in my building right now.'”

She clarified, “It wasn’t a real elephant. It was a wooden elephant he sent after he adopted an elephant in the wild in Raha’s name. It was such a sweet gesture by him. We call that elephant: Ele, and have kept it near our dining table in the fifth floor. Raha often hops on to it and plays.”
Previously, talking about Alia Bhatt, Ram Charan told Mid Day, “I have been an admirer of her work since Highway [2014]. After Raazi [2018], I became her fan. After working with her, I understood why people love her so much. There were times when I didn’t get my Telugu lines properly, but she got them bang-on. She was a thorough professional.”
