I feel Alia is a part of my family, and I always admire her work. I like the way she has matured as an actor in the last few years. She has creative intelligence, and that's why I really like her growth and the way she has conducted herself in public. Whenever there's a discussion, I refuse to accept anything negative about her. Alia is a great example of how an actor should mature."
