Alia Bhatt (Author)

Whether weaving magic on the silver screen as an actor or nurturing new narratives as a producer, Alia’s love for storytelling knows no bounds. But her magic doesn’t end there. Alia is on a mission to cultivate a generation of ‘mini planeteers’ through her sustainable brand for children, Ed-a-Mamma. Combining her passion for sustainability with her penchant for storytelling, Alia is now crafting enchanting tales for young hearts in a series of books titled The Adventures of Ed-a-Mamma. Filled with messages of kindness, courage, friendship and the wonders of our world, these stories promise to whisk you away on a magical journey of discovery.

When Alia isn’t telling a story, she’s reading one either by herself or to her little daughter, Raha. The resident cat and dog, Edward and Guido, often nose their way into the reading sessions. Further proof that everyone enjoys a good story.
