Actress
Alaya
F,
the
daughter
of
actress
Pooja
Bedi
and
businessman
Farhan
Furniturewala,
says
that
unlike
other
Indian
parents,
her
parents
have
always
advised
her
not
to
get
married
before
30.
While
speaking
to
Rajeev
Masand,
Alaya
said,
"When
you're
raised
by
single
parents,
they
are
inherently
very
independent,
so
they
like
to
pass
that
on
to
their
children.
Both
my
parents,
for
that
matter,
have
constantly
said
to
me
'You
have
to
be
financially
independent'."
She
further
added
that
in
a
country
where
parents
usually
put
pressure
on
their
kids
for
marriage,
her
parents
are
the
complete
opposite.
"They're
like
'Als,
if
you
get
married
before
you're
30
you're
doing
the
stupidest
thing
you've
done
in
your
life.
Focus
on
your
career,
focus
on
your
work,
focus
on
building
yourself'.
That's
been
said
to
me
all
the
time," added
Alaya.
Earlier,
while
speaking
to
an
entertainment
portal,
Alaya
had
spoken
about
her
parents'
separation
and
said
that
she
was
5
years
old,
when
her
parents
got
separated,
and
she
does
not
remember
much
about
it.
"I
had
memory
of
years
after
that.
I
had
a
happy
childhood
and
both
my
parents
are
still
on
great
terms.
They
never
made
me
feel
that
something
sad
has
happened.
It
was
just
a
divorce
and
it's
okay," added
Alaya.
For
the
unversed,
Alaya
maintains
a
cordial
relationship
with
her
mom's
fiance
Maneck
Contractor
and
her
father's
wife,
Fathima.
"They
are
all
wonderful,
happy
people
so
I
have
also
been
happy
with
them,"
had
said
Alaya.
With
respect
to
work,
Alaya
has
already
wrapped
up
the
shoot
of
Anurag
Kashyap's
untitled
next,
and
reportedly
signed
a
three-film
deal
with
producer
Jay
Shewakramani
of
Northern
Lights
Films.
