‘Alia Bhatt is self-made, ambitious unlike Ranbir Kapoor who is laidback,' says Mahesh Bhatt: ‘She has changed, matured after welcoming Raha'
The tag of nepotism has always chased Alia Bhatt despite her best efforts to negate that. After making her debut with Karan Johar's 2012 hit campus caper Student of the Year, Alia has proven her acting prowess over the years with critically acclaimed performances in films like Imtiaz Ali's Highway (2014), Abhishek Chaubey's Udta Punjab (2016), Meghna Gulzar's Raazi (2018), and Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Gangubai Kathiawadi (2022). Alia's father, veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, also believes his daughter is 'self-made.' 'I didn't launch Alia Bhatt. Karan Johar launched her. I didn't know she had so much thirst for acting in her. She gave the audition herself. I just got to know they loved her work. I was shocked because I hadn't seen any such traits in her even remotely. I'm very happy she's a self-made girl,' said Mahesh. On The Himanshu Mehta Show, the filmmaker further revealed that the young generation today approach her for pictures only to flaunt that they met Alia Bhatt's father. 'Alia has astounded me! What is unique about her is that she has a taste for taking risks and she's taken the detours into diverse narratives,' added Mahesh. Alia's father also pointed out that she's gone through 'an alchemical change' after the birth of her daughter Raha Kapoor in 2022. 'I see a new depth in her. With this young girl becoming a mother, there's a coming-of-age of a different kind, a different kind of maturity in her. I'm also looking forward to her new films which would be coming out now,' said Mahesh. Alia will be next seen headlining Shiv Rawail's spy thriller Alpha, which is a part of Aditya Chopra's YRF Spy Universe. Backed by Yash Raj Films, it's slated to release in cinemas this Christmas on December 25. Next year, Alia will also star alongside real-life husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Bhansali's romantic drama Love & War. Mahesh Bhatt also revealed that even Ranbir is in awe of Alia. 'He says, 'Alia is made of different stuff.' When I ask him, 'What do you mean?,' he says, 'Her ambition to do more and more and more is unbelievably astounding!' While he's a person who's very laid-back and comforted, and he just wants to do enough. She's a go-getter,' added Mahesh. Also Read — Alia Bhatt likes people watching to cheer herself up on bad days: 'I'm not looking into their bedrooms, but..' The filmmaker agreed that while there are talented nepo babies like Alia and Ranbir, one can't deny the merit that the discussion around nepotism holds. 'Nature is very fair. It's not important that the rose would bloom in only your garden. Nature spreads its jewels across the world. Nepotism is a reality, but it's also not. Just because my child is talented, that doesn't mean I disqualify them,' argued Mahesh. 'But it's definitely easy for them. Because access is success. Talented people don't even get access for years. It's important to understand that the voice that's been raised against nepotism, there's a collective anger behind that. That's why we get to hear about that every other day,' added Mahesh Bhatt.

Aneet Padda to Star in Web Series Nyaya After Saiyaara Success
Aneet Padda, who became popular after her big-screen debut in Saiyaara, will be seen next in a web series called Nyaya. Some fans were surprised by her move to an OTT platform, but people in the film industry say there's no need to worry.

In just 10 days, the movie made ₹248.43 crore at the box office. It's expected to cross ₹300 crore soon, making Aneet one of the most talked-about new stars in Bollywood. Her next project, Nyaya, is a fictional story based on real events. The show is directed by Nitya Mehra and co-produced by her husband Karan Kapadia. Aneet plays a 17-year-old girl fighting for justice after being hurt by a powerful spiritual leader. Actress Fatima Sana Shaikh plays a police officer in the series. It will be released soon on a major streaming platform. Even though she is doing a web series, Aneet will continue working in big films. A source from Yash Raj Films (YRF) said, 'Aneet is a movie star. Nyaya was shot before Saiyaara, so it doesn't affect her future in cinema.' With Saiyaara expected to earn ₹400 crore, YRF plans to promote Aneet as one of the top new stars in Bollywood.
