Talking about what kind of advice he and his family constantly gives to Alia Bhatt, who is one of the A-listers in Bollywood, Bhatt said, `One thing that we have collectively succeeded in advising her as a family is `you may have achieved tremendous achievements today but you have only scratched the surface and have miles to go`. Because I feel the worst enemy of any person in any business is the delusion when he or she feels that I am the god`s gift to mankind. She is good but there is always somebody far more brilliant than her. She should keep her eyes open to see that.`

But at the same time, we are very supportive of each other and passionate too. If anyone has a problem, the other person will immediately land to help.`
