Mahesh Bhatt has revealed that he is ecstatic and feels proud of Alia Bhatt after watching her performance in 'Highway'.

It's just the second day and the response has been so over whelming. So for a father there can be nothing better than to see his child achieves such a position in just second film at such young age. So this is a very proud and happy moment for me."
