Actor Alia Bhatt, who is currently promoting her latest film Jigra, recently shared a heartwarming anecdote about her RRR co-star, Telugu actor Ram Charan. After the birth of Bhatt's daughter, Raha Kapoor, Charan adopted an elephant in the wild as a thoughtful gesture. Additionally, Charan sent a charming wooden elephant toy to Bhatt's home.

Narrating the incident, Alia told Suresh Productions, "This is a very funny story. A month after Raha was born, I had stepped down to walk for a bit. Suddenly, I had someone coming and telling me,'Ma’am, Ram Charan sir has sent an elephant.' I was stunned. I was like, ‘Anything can happen: I might have a giant elephant walking in my building right now."

She explained, "It wasn’t a real elephant. It was a wooden elephant he sent after he adopted an elephant in the wild in Raha’s name. It was such a sweet gesture by him. We call that elephant: Ele, and have kept it near our dining table on the fifth floor. Raha often hops on to it and plays."

Speaking about her bond with Ram Charan and Jr NTR, Alia said, "Tarak, Ram Charan, and I, we couldn’t spend a lot of time together on the sets of RRR due to different schedules, but around promotions, we became very close."
