At that time, it was important for me to take a break to understand things. I have got a lot of love and support, especially from my fans. Now, I know how it feels to have a film not do well. But now, I am fine and happy that it happened. But honestly, for the first few days, I wasn’t good at all. She told Hindustan Times, “I will never regret doing that film. Critics have also appreciated Bhatt’s acting in her recent films: ‘2 states’ (2014), ‘Highway’ (2014), and ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ (2014).��Despite such success, her latest film ‘Shaandaar’ (2015), co-starring Shahid Kapoor, was the actress’s first film that didn’t do well. We hit it off almost immediately because we are of a similar age and are both interested in literature.Alia Bhatt has had continuous successful films since her debut in Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’ (2012). Mira and I became friends even before the wedding. She keeps Bhaiya on his toes! They make such an amazing pair. You have a new family member in Shahid’s wife Mira. (Laughs) I try keeping the boyfriends away from him. Like ‘Don’t look at her, she is my sister’ type overprotective. We love each other to death, but ya… he is very overprotective.

I don’t think I will ever grow up for him. He is a very overprotective older brother who will always see me as his baby sister. What is your relationship with Shahid like? Isn’t there a huge age gap? I had tears in my eyes and my mind went blank. When Vikas asked us to start, I went completely cold. Two days before we were to start shooting in Leeds, he sat us down. Vikas Sir kept pushing back my reading with dad because he knew I would be nervous. Even if I wasn’t his daughter, I’d be scared to share screen space with him. Dad is such a brilliant actor and for all of us kids, dad’s appreciation is the best thing ever. Who was scarier to work with - your dad or your brother?ĭefinitely, dad! Brother wasn’t scary at all. But when you connect as much with a character as I did, it doesn’t really matter. It had taken me years to lose the weight. As for the weight, the decision to put on the kilos was a stressful one for me. I hope my performance shows enough range that people can see me as more than a second lead. I want to prove that it is possible to step away from stereotypes. Somewhere I think, there is a little bit of fear. You are playing a second lead and have put on a lot of weight for this film. Not that Vikas Sir would have ever hired me because of my family, but I was sure that he shouldn’t know whose daughter or sister I am when he saw the audition. I thought, I’ll do it for a lark and to experience how things work. I finished college in June and in July, I got a call from Mukesh Chhabra’s (casting agent for Shaandaar) office. The plan was to groom myself for a year before I started meeting people for work. So, I was studying literature and psychology at Mithibai College (in Mumbai). My parents were very clear that I have to complete my education before I try my hand at films. I want to be a part of films that give happiness and joy to someone.Ĭompletely out of the blue. For me, movies have the capability to change lives. Watching a film just made me feel so good. Apart from that, movies were what I escaped to when I was going through tough days in school or fights with friends. I am more comfortable on a set than even my bedroom! A film set is home for me. My life revolved around school and the set.

I was about three or four when my parents launched a production company that made TV shows.

When we used to go to watch a film in the theatres, my poor mother would have to carry a bag full of clothes because I would want to dress like the actress in the scene! Ya I was that spoilt when I was a kid.ĭoes this obsession with all things filmi stem from the fact that your parents are actors? When I was three, I would dance to all the songs in front of the TV. You know when people start asking, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ I would always say ‘Actress’. When did you know that you wanted to act? Sanah, 24, plays Alia Bhatt’s older sister Isha, the one getting married in this destination wedding film.
