As a dedicated follower of Alia Bhatt’s career, I must say that her journey has been nothing short of inspiring. Her ability to immerse herself so deeply into her characters, as evidenced by her experiences with Udta Punjab, Highway, and Gangubai Kathiawadi, is truly commendable.

Alia Bhatt’s acting career has blossomed with each movie since she first appeared on screen in Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year in 2012. Over the years, she’s taken on a wide range of roles that earned her the National Film Award and transformed her personally. In an interview, she revealed that during the filming of Udta Punjab in 2016, she experienced a complete disconnect from the world, both physically and emotionally.

Recently, Alia Bhatt had a heart-to-heart conversation with IMDb as part of their Icons Only Series. During this chat, she candidly discussed her affection for food, sleep, and her child Raha Kapoor, as well as how her character portrayals impact her personal self. Notably, she confessed that the role in Udta Punjab left her feeling uneasy. This was the one and only film where she adopted a method acting approach. In her own words, “I withdrew from the world physically, and emotionally detached myself during the duration of shooting the movie.

Later on, she shared insights about the 2014 movie Highway, which she believed brought about a notable change in her character. She attributed this transformation to spending extended periods on the road during filming, away from home. In essence, she compared this experience to going away to college, except that her “campus” was a movie set. This is what Alia Bhatt, star of Gully Boy, revealed.

In the end, she shared her involvement in the 2022 film Gangubai Kathiawadi, a role that earned her the National Award for Best Actress. Reflecting on the project, Bhatt confessed that her acting skills were significantly transformed following her departure from the set, attributing this transformation to the unique experience she had. Furthermore, she expressed deep admiration for director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, stating that working under his direction leaves an indelible impact on any actor.

In terms of her career, she’ll soon appear in the YRF Spy Universe film titled Alpha. This film is directed by Shiv Rawail and produced by Aditya Chopra. Notably, the movie also features Sharvari, known for her work in Munjya, in a significant role.
