Alaya Furniturewalla, who is currently basking in the success of Srikanth, talked about her mother Pooja Bedi’s divorce and threw light on the family dynamics in an interview with Bollywood Bubble.
Alaya is the daughter of businessman Farhan Furniturewala and Pooja Bedi. Alaya said that when her parents got separated, she didn’t understand its severe impact as they handled it with utmost dignity. Alaya F told Bollywood Bubble, “My parents were going their separate ways, but I would see them all the time, they were very, very friendly with each other also. Till today, they are great friends. My mom attended my father’s second marriage. I am extremely close to my step-mom. My half-brother, who I even hate calling half-brother because he is my brother, we have the same dad different moms, is like a piece of my heart, my child. So I can’t imagine a life where my parents had stayed together.”
Alaya F, who shares a great bond with step-brother and step-mom, said she can’t think her life without them. “In my head, divorce was never really a bad thing because my parents handled their divorce so beautifully. When my other friend was going through something similar, I didn’t think it was a big deal. I was like, ‘Yeah, it will be good for you, it will be great for your family’, because that’s generally how I thought about divorce,” she said. She added, “My mom and step-mom are also very good friends.”
