Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who has starred in several critically acclaimed and commercially successful films, recently opened up about her learning experiences from each of her projects. In an interview with Vogue Singapore, the 29-year-old star said that every film has taught her something new and valuable.
Alia Bhatt On Shah Rukh Khan
One of the films that had a profound impact on her was Dear Zindagi, a 2016 drama directed by Gauri Shinde, in which she played a young woman struggling with mental health issues. The film also featured superstar Shah Rukh Khan as a therapist who helps her overcome her personal and professional challenges.
“With Dear Zindagi, I learnt so much from Shah Rukh Khan. He made such an impact on the way I am and how I behave on set. His behaviour, respect, inclination towards everything in a scene—I learnt a lot from that,” she said.
Alia Bhatt On Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Alia said that it felt like she went back to school all over again while shooting for Gangubai Kathiawadi. Except, this time it was an acting school. “Once you walk out of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali set, you’re no longer the same person. Like Ranveer [Singh] says, you’ve been “Bhansali-fied” (laughs). It’s working with the people who make you more prepared for the next journey, but it’s not like you’ll ever have the answers. You’ll learn with each film as long as you’re open and you’ve walked onto the set deciding that you don’t have all the answers,” she said.
