Alia Bhatt, in a recent media interaction, talked about how her choice of films has evolved over a decade.
Alia Bhatt stepped into the Hindi film industry with Karan Johar’s campus romance, Student Of The Year alongside Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in 2012. The film struck a chord with the youth for Alia’s portrayal of a fashionista.
However, it was Imtiaz Ali’s Highway which proved to be a major turning point in her career and since then, there is no looking back for her. More recently, the actress even bagged a National Award for her stellar performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Recently, Alia graced Hindustan Times Leadership Summit where she got candid about various aspects of her life.
Amongst the questions posed to her during the Q&A session, one of them was whether she would like to play the role of Shanaya from her debut film Student Of The Year at this point in her career.
In response, Alia said, “Actually, never say never. I never limit myself. I really go with my instinct. I definitely feel my personality, of course, as anybody’s personality has evolved over the last ten years, so maybe my choice of movies, the way I approach every film, the process has become more structured. But still, I would say I have no structure when it comes to process.”
In the same interaction, the actress also recalled what exactly was going on in her mind five seconds before she went on the stage to received her National Award from the President Of India.
“I was enamoured with the way the whole event was organised. It was a pinch me moment. It was overwhelming in general to be there. Five second before, if I had to recall, it was a lovely moment that Kriti Sanon and I shared. She just looked back at me and said, “I just want to give you a hug,” the actress told the audience.
On the work front, Alia will next be seen in Vasan Bala’s upcoming film Jigra.
