When filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt visited his daughter, Alia Bhatt a few days back, it sent a tizzy around. Not because of Bhatts being there, but because the father-daughter were joined by actor Ranbir Kapoor.

Now two days after his meeting with the rumoured couple, dad Bhatt has spoken about what actually happened at Alia's place the other day. Talking to a leading daily, the filmmaker opened up that he was surprised to see this new paparazzi culture. However, he maintained that he is fond of Ranbir and would let his daughter decide about her future. He said, "When I saw those pics, I was like, ‘Oh, the paparazzi age is here and you have people from the outside using their premise to capture the image, because that’s what the nation is thrusting for.’ So, not saying more, I’d let the paparazzi guess if papa is raazi".

He then added that they would let both Alia and Ranbir decide whether or not they would like to talk to the world about their relationship. He said, "It’s very obvious that (Ranbir-Alia) are making no bones about talking to people about them being intimate. And I don’t belong to that category of parents who’d advise their children about their personal choices. Alia is an adult and it’s a matter that she has to resolve. It’s their life, their space. I respect and admire them for choosing to talk to the world when, and if, they want to do".

He also praised Ranbir's performance in his last release, Sanju and said, "He astounded me in Sanju. After Amitabh Bachchan’s Deewar (1975), this is the first time I’ve seen an actor take charge of a character, which is iconic like Sanjay Dutt. Ranbir is barely 34 or 35 and though he comes from the great lineage of the Kapoor family, he has a unique charm and talent that’s his own. He is an original, just like Alia is an original".

Well, seems like papa is indeed raazi!
