Recently in an interview, Mahesh Bhatt admitted the fact that Alia doesn't have time the way she used to. Sharing an interesting detail, the filmmaker revealed that earlier the Highway` famed beauty as a kid had been giving him foot massages for a fee of Rs.500. And he says that he enjoys it a lot when Alia does it. "I feel like an old taxi which has clocked to many miles. Massage for my tired feet from Alia is the best gift ever!" wrote the senior Bhatt on his micro-blogging site.

But now that Alia has grown up and working, he had to give her a hike. "The best things in life are NOT free! Alia used to get 500 bucks as a child for massaging my foot.Now 1000!" tweeted the filmmaker and also shared couple of pics of his cute beti.

"I also had to take inflation into account," had quoted Mahesh Bhatt in an interview.

Currently, Alia is busy with Vikas Bahl`s next film Shaandar` with Shahid Kapoor.
