Alia Bhatt has begun shooting for Raazi in Patiala. When the violence broke out following the arrest of Ram Rahim Singh, she and her team were stuck in the city.

Talking about the whole situation, she stated, "It wasn’t as scary [for us] but it was clearly frightening for everyone in the state and even outside. We were still safe inside the hotels and we didn’t step out. Of course, that’s something we had to do. But I feel really bad for people, who weren’t safe, were out on the roads, and were subject to all the violence."

About her shoot, the actor said, "I won’t lie. Yes, it has been very challenging. The shooting is still on, and I still have a month left. We have been shooting in almost a non-stop manner, barring a few days when the shoot got disrupted. But overall, it has been a good and an interesting journey — creatively as well as mentally. I am in Patiala right now, and I feel that when you are shooting outdoors, it’s always lovely because you are only with your film dedicating all your energies and attention to it. Plus, it’s lovely being in Patiala."

On missing her pets, she quipped, "You know, I will be back in Mumbai only by the end of September. But, in between, and not many would believe that, but I will be travelling to the city just to see my cat (Edward) so that I am assured that he hasn’t forgotten me. So, after we finish the schedule in Patiala, I have a couple of days in hand before I reach Kashmir, Jammu & Kashmir [for another schedule]. So, I will come to Mumbai; spend a day with my cat and the next day, I will fly to Kashmir."
