Alia Bhatt has always had a special bond with her RRR co-stars, Ram Charan and Jr NTR, and recently, she shared an adorable story that proves just how close they are. After the birth of her daughter Raha, Ram Charan surprised Alia with a unique and heartwarming gift – an elephant. Well, not an actual elephant, but a handcrafted wooden one, which caught her off guard.

In a chat with Suresh Productions, Alia opened up about her growing friendship with her RRR buddies, saying, “Tarak, Ram, and I didn’t get much time on set together, but during the promotions, we became super close.”
Then came the surprise that left Alia in shock.
The Jigra actress shared, “A month after Raha was born, someone told me, ‘Ma’am, Ram Charan has sent an elephant.’ I was completely stunned, thinking a giant elephant was about to walk into my building!”
Turns out, Ram Charan had adopted a wild elephant in Raha’s name and sent a wooden version of the animal as a sweet gesture. Now lovingly named 'Ele,' it sits near their dining table on the fifth floor, and little Raha loves playing on it.
