MUMBAI: Alia Bhatt is one of the most popular actresses in B-town. She has been winning hearts with her performance in films. She is also popular on social media. She is currently making headlines for the film Gangubai Kathiawadi.
After completing a decade in the film industry, the actress is now gearing up to make her debut as a film producer. And as she gears up for the same, she is looking back at the nervousness she felt before making her debut as an actor. Alia reflected on how far her life has come since she was standing in her father Mahesh Bhatt's office ahead of Student of the Year (2012). She told Mid-Day that actor Emraan Hashmi, who is also her cousin, was also present as her filmmaker father tried to calm her nerves. The actress said, “Before Student of the Year [2012], I went to my father’s [Mahesh Bhatt] office, shaking [in fear] that I won’t be able to act. He had told me then that I will feel this with every film. Emraan [Hashmi] was sitting there, mostly agreeing with my father.”
Alia Bhatt is making her production debut with the film Darlings. It is a dark comedy about a mother-daughter relationship. The film stars herself and Shefali Shah. Alia said, “When I got my first opportunity, I was young. The world might say I bought my way [into the industry], but it came to me after an audition, and I will never forget the gratitude [I felt]. I want to create that opportunity not just for actors, but also for young writers and directors. The industry will go forward only if we bring fresh voices into our narratives.”
