Alaya F told Bollywood Bubble, "My parents were going their separate ways, but I would see them all the time, they were very, very friendly with each other also".

The 26-year-old actress also said that till today they are great friends. Alaya also revealed her mom even attended her dad's second marriage. She is also extremely close to her step-mom and shares a great bond with her step-brother. "My half-brother, who I even hate calling half-brother because he is my brother, we have the same dad, different moms, is like a piece of my heart, my child. So I can't imagine a life where my parents had stayed together," said Alaya.

She continued, "In my head, divorce was never really a bad thing because my parents handled their divorce so beautifully. When my other friend was gong through something similar, I didn't think it was a big deal. I was like, 'Yeah, it will be good for you, it will be great for your family', because that's generally how I thought about divorce'' and added that her mom and step-mom are also very good friends.
