Alia Bhatt Is Soaking in the Love and Admiration Coming Her Way. A Heartwarming Conversation With Filmfare

It's A Beautiful Life

At 25, her resume could resemble that of a stalwart. Her discernable performances could provide a ready reckoner for learners. In six years, she has scaled highs and more highs. Avant garde films like Imtiaz Ali’s Highway, Abhishek Chaubey’s Udta Punjab and Gauri Shinde’s Dear Zindagi along with massy entertainers like Two States, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and Badrinath Ki Dulhania, prove Alia Bhatt’s reign over the two realms. Recently, as the sensitive and spirited Sehmat in Meghna Gulzar’s espionage drama Raazi, she immortalised the real life braveheart. The future is exciting too with Zoya Akhtar’s musical Gully Boy, Abhishek Varman’s Kalank and Ayan Mukerji’s fantasy Brahmastra.

And to top all the euphoria is the ecstasy of love. Yes, Alia’s reportedly in love with long-time ‘crush’ Ranbir Kapoor. Shooting for Brahmastra with the talented Ranbir only means taking their chemistry to another level. Ask her if the enormity of it all is sinking in and she replies, “I don’t pay so much attention to the enormity of my life. For me, it’s like clockwork. You wake up to do this. To sit back and pause and be like, ‘Oh wow’ would be self-indulgent. To marvel at your own journey would be boring. I’d rather observe someone else’s and learn from it.” she says. Right now, what absorbs her is the challenge of living several lives in one lifetime – some edgy characters, some easy. “I balance it out,” she points out. If I wanna be a good chef and I serve one kind of sandwich, who’s going to visit my restaurant? There must be variety. I tend to relate everything to food!” she laughs at the comparison.
