Alia Bhatt Opens Up On Ranbir Kapoor, Her Career and More

The sparkle of youth, the insight of experience... make Alia Bhatt a cocktail of charming contradictions. Jitesh Pillaai engages in soul-talk with the youngest superstar

Tucked away in the nook and crannies of Juhu is a quaint-looking building that looks straight out of a picture postcard. So, what do you do when you meet her at her well-appointed flat at 9.30 pm? Say hello and goodnight too. Today’s most happening heroine is in her pyjamas and ready to call it a night. At 25, while most of her ilk would be ready to head out, Alia Bhatt is securely tucked in the folds of her blanket. Once she knocks back the interview of mine, she will beckon the sandman. She, of the unconventional choices. She, who was born to unconventional parents. Except the high-profile debut in a Karan Johar film, Alia Bhatt has consistently resisted categorisation. In May, she has Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi ready to show at the theatres. Based on Harinder Sikka’s novel Calling Sehmat, it tells the real life of an intrepid girl married to a Pakistani. And how she reportedly averts one of the biggest disasters that threatened the fabric of the country in 1971. Alia reprises the role of Sehmat from the book. Undoubtedly, she will give it substance and copious amount of feeling.
