Veteran actress Soni Razdan has opened up about her deeply personal connection to the ongoing atrocities in Palestine, drawing from her own family’s painful history.In a heartfelt social media post, Soni revealed how her grandfather, a German citizen, risked his life during Hitler’s regime by running an underground newspaper opposing Nazi rule. “He suffered greatly and saw terrible things,” Soni wrote. Though eventually released due to legal support—with the condition that he would never return to Germany—his bravery left a lasting impression on the family.

Alia Bhatt‘s reaction

The actress showed quiet support for her mother’s strong statement by ‘liking’ the post. Alia has not made any additional remarks.

“It would have broken him”

Reflecting on the current situation in Palestine, Soni Razdan expressed how it disturbs her deeply, particularly because of her grandfather’s past. “The very people he fought so hard to save have turned into those that oppressed them,” she wrote, referring to what she views as the tragic irony of today’s crisis. She made it clear that her post is not against an entire community, acknowledging that many Jews oppose the violence, just as many Germans once opposed Hitler. . Her post completely read, “A recent reel featuring the Jewish Australian actress Miriam Margoyles has actually pushed me to write this post and at this point. She chillingly states that Hitler won. Because he made the Jews like him. That is the saddest thing I have read in a long time. Whether you agree or disagree…. It is a terrifying indictment. This is also actually a continuation of an earlier post about my mother and grandmother. Of course, my grandfather is everywhere in it. They don’t make many like him anymore. “She added, “But let us not despair, because there are those that speak out, and those that put their lives on the line to report. My heart goes out to everyone who does. More power to all of you. A world war was fought for what was right, and what was just. Many died, but many were saved. I am proud that my grandfather was on the right side of history. I do hope that the rest of the world will follow sooner rather than later.”
