On Friday, actor and producer Alia Bhatt celebrated her 31st birthday. She is regarded as one of the best actresses in the nation. She has consistently amazed audiences with her extraordinary range of performances. She just won her first national best actress award for Gangubai Kathiawadi. As we discuss her highly successful work, let's take a look at how her career has progressed from a bubbly college student to the Rani of Bollywood.
From Sweet Sixteen to Bollywood Royalty
Alia burst onto the silver screen with the youthful exuberance of "Student of the Year" in 2012, courtesy of the illustrious Dharma Productions. While the film catapulted her into the limelight, it was just the tip of the iceberg for this budding talent. With subsequent commercial hits like "2 States," "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania," and "Badrinath Ki Dulhania," Bhatt became the face that launched a thousand memes, portraying the quintessential sweet, innocent, and bubbly girl-next-door.
The Rise of an Acting Dynamo
However, it wasn't until she hit the road in "Highway" that critics took notice of Bhatt's acting chops. The turning point came with "Udta Punjab," where she shed her bubbly image to unveil a raw, gritty portrayal that left audiences in awe. From then on, she handpicked scripts that showcased her depth and versatility, from the soul-stirring "Dear Zindagi" to the spine-tingling "Raazi" and the rap-infused "Gully Boy." Gone was the innocent charm; in its place stood a beacon of wisdom and grace.
Gangubai to Global Icon
But it was her transformative portrayal of a prostitute mafia in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, "Gangubai Kathiawadi," that truly cemented her status as a global sensation. With accolades pouring in from every corner of the globe, Bhatt transcended borders, rubbing shoulders with fashion elites at the Met Gala and sealing lucrative brand deals with Gucci. Her foray into the global arena continued with a cameo in the international blockbuster "RRR," solidifying her status as a force to be reckoned with.
Lights, Camera, Producer!
As if conquering hearts on screen wasn't enough, 2022 saw Bhatt donning the producer's hat with "Darlings," a critically acclaimed venture that premiered on Netflix. Not one to be confined by geographical boundaries, she made her Hollywood debut in 2023 with "Heart of Stone," proving yet again that her talent knows no bounds. Most recently, she graced the silver screen as a bold feminist journalist in "Rocky or Rani Ki Prem Kahani," injecting her trademark flair into yet another box-office extravaganza.
