He also talked about the wedding in an interview, as well as his bond with Alia. He said, “I first started working for them [Bhatts] when Alia was 5-years-old. Be it taking her to school or the first day of shoot, Alia has been my responsibility. She is like my daughter. I got really emotional after seeing her dressed as a bride. I could not say anything, just told her ‘You are looking very beautiful’. Alia smiled and said, ‘Thank you, Sunil’.”

Sunil reminisced about his childhood memories of Alia and how he used to drive her to school. “I have been working with Alia since 1998. When I met her for the first time, she must have been 5 years old. It was my responsibility to take Alia to school. I remember I was with her during her first day of shoot. I have seen Alia grow up as a child, and now she is married. They consider me a part of their family. I loved going to the wedding. It was emotional seeing Alia in the bride’s getup. It felt as if my own daughter was getting married.”

Sunil, meanwhile, stated that he would continue to work for the actress even after her marriage because he had already dedicated his life to the Bhatt family. He said that he will always be there for Alia, regardless of the changes.
