Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has been featured in Time magazine’s ‘100 most Influential people’s’ list.
British writer and director Tom Harper who worked with Alia earlier have praised her for her dedication to craft and have called her an ‘international star’. Alia is the only Bollywood actor who have made the cut.
Tom had called Alia a ‘formidable talent’ and wrote, “She is not only one of the world’s leading actors, admired for her work in the Indian film industry for over a decade—she is also a businesswoman and a philanthropist who leads with integrity,”
He also wrote, “Alia’s superpower is her ability to mix movie-star magnetism with authenticity and sensitivity. As an actor she is luminous, and as a person she brings the grounded assurance and creativity that make a truly international star,”
Harper by showering praise on the star wrote, “I met Alia on Heart of Stone, her English-language film debut. Despite her fame, on set she is self-effacing and funny. There is a grace to the way she goes about her work: focused, open to ideas, and willing to take creative risks. One of my favourite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it.”
Alia Bhatt was last seen in Karan Johar’s directorial comeback Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Her next project is Vasan Bala’s Jigra. She is also co-producing the film.
