MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt came to the rescue of her Shaandaar co-star Shahid Kapoor at an event when personal questions were directed to him, and said that she’s “protective” about him.

Kapoor and Bhatt were present at an event, the Close-Up First Move Party, where they had a fun-filled interaction with mediapersons.

When Kapoor was asked who made the first move for his wedding — was it him or his wife Mira Rajput and other similar questions,Bhatt took charge and dismissed all questions one after another. This prompted scribes to ask them if they had decided to save each other from personal queries.

To that, Bhatt said, “There’s no deal! I’m just protective about Shahid. And we’re talking about Shaandaar here. I get very irritated when people ask more personal questions when we’re trying to be on the work front. Make it more about the work. It’s only fair.”

The Highway actress also called herself a “good friend” and “good girl” for protecting Kapoor.Even Kapoor made it clear that he wanted the questions to be restricted to his work and Shaandaar.

When Kapoor was asked why he’s so reserved about his personal life, Bhatt responded, “Because it’s personal. That’s why he’s reserved.”
