Alia Bhatt: Chirpy Charming & Captivating!

The recipient of the Filmfare Award for 'Best Actress' 2016, Alia Bhatt is surely the successful millennial to watch out for in Bollywood. The bubbly actress debuted in 2012, with the then newcomers, Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra in the high school-based flick titled, 'Student of the Year.' Alia portrayed the role of Shanaya Singhania and was considered the new age 'Poo', of `Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' fame, but minus the attitude that Kareena Kapoor portrayed in the film.

However since her debut, the graph has only been moving upward for this talented actress who seems to get into the skin of all the characters she plays. Alia has steadily added many feathers to her cap, with exceptional performances in films like, 'Highway, 'Udta Punjab', '2 States' and 'Dear Zindagi.' She has flitted from the girl-next-door image to glam diva with ease and natural poise, charming the audience with her unaffected candour and innocence. In a free-wheeling conversation with Alia, we reveal this spunky star's penchant for fitness, food, films and fashion. 

Tell us something about the routines you follow to remain fit.

I work round the clock and the best part, is that my metabolism is really high. Plus, I am always looking for hacks to stay fit. So, there's no particular routine I follow, but I manage to pull it off. 

What kind of workouts do you enjoy the most?

I love Pilates and currently, I am doing a lot of functional training with my trainer, Yasmin Karachiwala and she's the best! I also do a lot of cardio exercises and weight training for my legs and upper body. But if there's a film which demands a particular prototype of a body, then the strategies are always in place. 

Do you believe that diet is a very important part of one's lifestyle, what do you include in your daily diet?
