Alia Bhatt is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Jigra. The actress recently shared a new Instagram post featuring her Udta Punjab co-star, Diljit Dosanjh. In the picture, both are seated on chairs with special messages written on the back. Diljit’s chair reads, “Sings about Kudi,” while Alia’s chair says, “The said ‘Kudi’.” This playful reference brings back memories of the soulful track Ikk Kudi sung by Diljit in Udta Punjab.
