Speaking about Edward, Alia revealed, “He is like a piece of my heart, he is the love of my life. It’s difficult for me to leave him at home right now and come here. But because it’s a very very special event, I have to be here. But I really miss Edward, I want to be with him all the time.”

Now, who is Edward? Edward is actually Alia’s cat! Yes, he is actually her cat. As a gift to self. Alia got herself a cat on her birthday. Since then he is becoming the centre of her universe and the young actress spends a lot of time with Edward, the cat.

Talking about naming her pet as Edward, the actress enthused, “I am tired of calling animals with cute names. Boo, choo, koo, loo, we need something royal. Shaheen (her sister) wanted to call him Phoenix, but we finally came to call him Edward together.”

Since then the ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya’ actress has put up a lot of pictures of her pet, Edward.
