Jane Fonda is Alia Bhatt’s latest fan?
The video shows the 87-year-old actor looking adoringly at Alia as they pose for photos. Both are wearing almost matching golden-silver outfits as the brand ambassadors for L’Oreal. Jane, instead of looking at the camera, was all eyes for Alia and touched her dress to get a better look. Alia catches her looking and gives a big smile.
Earlier on Friday, even Bridgerton star Simone Ashley was also spotted catching a look at Alia as they posed together.
