Alia Bhatt holds all the aces, her every move reminds us why she’s the most followed millennial in showbiz, and owns the title of being the coolest girl in Bollywood
Alia Bhatt is not one to let pedestrian challenges get the better of her. She’s fiercely confident, boundlessly talented, a power-packed performer and yet, a perfectly relatable girl-next-door. Eleven films and eight years into the industry, Bhatt is undoubtedly one of the most bankable actresses in Bollywood. “For me, the challenge is not only to stay at the top of my game, but to also push myself as an actor every day. I really believe that if I continue to have fun with what I am doing then it will reflect positively in my choices, and attitude towards work,” says Bhatt, as she readily submits herself to the capable hands of her make-up artist, who’s hard at work, with 15 minutes to go before the cover shoot.
Her spate of successes has put her on the wish list of every leading filmmaker, the most recent being Sanjay Leela Bhansali as she's poised to star in his next Inshallah, who believes in Bhatt’s unfettered style of acting, punctuated with layers of complexity and copious amounts of feelings. She slips in and out of character effortlessly; from playing a farm labourer struggling with severe addiction in Udta Punjab, to an undercover spy who dabbles in Morse code and weapons for her role in Raazi. It’s also apparent that Bhatt can straddle the world of Karan Johar’s feel-good movies (Read: Student of the Year and Badrinath Ki Dulhania) with as much ease as she can bring alive a hard-hitting character scripted by directors like Meghna Gulzar or Abhishek Chaubey.
