'Alia-Shaheen have had middle-class upbringing' Soni Razdan recalls giving her daughters Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt a 'typical middle-class upbringing' with limited money. During a trip to Dubai, Soni had a first-class ticket while her children traveled in economy. She noticed a lady in front of her daughters reclining her seat, but the children declined to ask her to adjust. Soni explained her logic of having her kids travel in economy until they could afford business class.
