Alia Bhatt is indeed having a terrific 2022. After back-to-back successes, Alia has made it to the TIME100 Impact Awards list. In February, she starred as the titular brothel owner Gangubai Kathiawadi in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s biographical film of the same name and lit up the box office with her stupendous act. She followed it up with a smaller role in SS Rajamouli’s period drama RRR. In August, she aced her maiden production venture in the Netflix film, Darlings and followed it up in September with Brahmastra Part One: Shiva which proved to be a savior for Bollywood films at the box office.
Alia shared her snippet from The TIME100 Impact Awards list on social media. The list addresses her as, “Alia Bhatt acts like a modern woman-Flaws and All.” In the write-up, Alia spoke about the modern woman that still struggle with being wrong, selfish, or flawed said, “We have a certain societal norm in which we have to be put together, we have to be right, we have to be quiet, we have to be simple, we have to be soft-spoken, we have to be well-dressed. We have to be so many things. Just bringing everything: the vulnerability, the jealousy, the lows, the highs, the real things that we are afraid of even thinking. If you bring that to the forefront on the big screen, then the person watching you from the audience will feel like, ‘OK, I’m not the only one.’”
She further spoke about her choosing process and said, "I instinctively feel a little bit more free with my choices. I’m not so overcautious with going wrong. Just have a little bit of fun and surrender a bit to the process.”
Alia, who is pregnant with her and husband Ranbir’s first child is looking forward to her Hollywood debut alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan in Netflix’s film Heart of Stone. She also has Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani in the pipeline opposite Ranveer Singh.
