"Highway" star Alia Bhatt says her filmmaker father Mahesh Bhatt advises the actress to use her popularity for the right causes. "My father says I should use my popularity in the right direction and not just restrict it to films. I have been in the industry for three years and I try and do things like this," Alia told reporters here at the launch of a short film "Girls Rising".
The film, supporting the cause of girls, is helmed by Academy Award-nominated director Richard E Robbins. The 22-year-old "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania" actress has learnt from her mother to help others. "My mother used to pay for education of the daughters of sweeper, watchman and others. This is something I saw happening at home and I want to take it up when I run my own house," Alia said.
