Recently, while interacting with Forbes, Alia gave insights into her film Jigra describing the film as different from the projects she has worked on earlier. She also opened up about the moment she signed the project shortly after she gave birth to her daughter Raha Kapoor. She said, "At the time I signed Jigra, it was just after I had given birth, a couple of months, like 4 months, so I was feeling very protective. Something about me was feeling… like I was just in Tiger’s mode wanting to protect my cub. So Jigra is all about protecting your loved ones."
