Failure worries me; nobody wants to fail. There is a fear that one day, films will not come my way, or if someone doesn’t watch your film, that is a worrying point. It is unpredictable in the industry. – Alia Bhatt
I don’t find these technical things like flowers and chocolates romantic at all. I think Valentine’s Day makes no sense. – Alia Bhatt
I am a very private person. I don’t like to talk about things till someone asks about them. – Alia Bhatt
After ‘Student Of The Year,’ when I played that baby-doll, diva character, I knew I would be stereotyped, and I wanted to break that image of me. I loved that role, but I don’t want to be attached to one particular genre, so ‘Highway’ was a blessing in disguise. – Alia Bhatt
I think the success that I have is due to hard work and destiny. It is important to stay grounded and not take things for granted. – Alia Bhatt
I cry when I don’t get food on time. I am not cranky but have the heart of a child. I cry and laugh at most times. I have the sensitivity of a child. – Alia Bhatt
I prefer ‘cooling foods’ for the summer – lots of fruits like watermelons, a few strands of kesar with raisins that have been soaked overnight, and lots of coconut water. Dinner is usually dahi chawal. I am a big foodie, so depending on my cravings, I indulge – maybe pasta or risotto. – Alia Bhatt
A romantic date for me is sitting in pajamas and being with a guy with whom I can be myself. – Alia Bhatt
Whenever you do a film for the wrong reasons, it may or it may not pan out. Sometimes people do it because it is a good move or the right move. I don’t know; maybe one day I will do a film for the wrong reasons, and it will work for me. – Alia Bhatt
I only think about the choices I want to make and act responsibly – not say or do stupid things, like break the law or get caught doing stupid things. – Alia Bhatt
I totally have the ability to laugh at myself. I don’t think one should take oneself seriously, ever. As long as you are not hurting my sentiments by revealing personal details or talking badly about my family, I’m absolutely fine. – Alia Bhatt
I am so stressed that my dentist told me I am grinding my teeth due to stress. So, every evening, I get shooting pain from my jaw to my head. – Alia Bhatt
Whatever you do, do with determination. You have one life to live; do your work with passion and give your best. Whether you want to be a chef, doctor, actor, or a mother, be passionate to get the best result. – Alia Bhatt
My favourite movie of all-time is ‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.’ I love Kate Winslet. – Alia Bhatt
The photographers are always around. Wherever I go, they start clicking incessantly. I am always like, ‘At least give me a heads-up, as, many times, I look so disheveled. What will people think?’ – Alia Bhatt
As actors, we are always playing other characters. It’s so exhausting and time consuming to figure them out, so when you get the time to be yourself, you should take it. – Alia Bhatt
I’m almost a feminist and believe if a girl wants to do something, she should be able to do it in the same way that a man is able to, which is sometimes a problem in our country. – Alia Bhatt
When life partner happens, I hope he is not a youth icon then because I doubt even I would be youthful then. Whether life partner is hot or not, that doesn’t matter. He has to be a nice man. He should be funny, responsible, and he should be sweet, and he should love me a lot. – Alia Bhatt
I may get married later or may never get married. But I want babies, so I’ll have to get married. I want fat, cute babies. Every girl has to think about it at some point. For me, marriage is about family, and that’s why I find it necessary. Till then, it’s normal to have a partner and do your own thing. – Alia Bhatt
I don’t know how to measure success. I have been fortunate that I got exciting films to do and work with talented directors who brought out the best in me. – Alia Bhatt
Everyone’s films have done well of late. So when your film doesn’t do well, you ask yourself, ‘Oh, did I make a wrong choice?’ And I strongly feel that it’s your choices that make a good career. The track record has to be good. – Alia Bhatt
I didn’t have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don’t particularly feel ‘successful,’ but I am grateful that my career is going well. – Alia Bhatt
I think my confidence stems from my honesty. I’m brutally honest – about everything and even myself. I tell it as I think it. I’m not politically correct. I’m definitely not diplomatic. I get bashed up for what I say, but I don’t know any other way. – Alia Bhatt
I grew up thinking that it’s okay to be sad, angry, and express your emotions. I have also banged doors and fought, as I have seen my mom do that when she would fight with my dad. Everything that I’ve learnt is from them, so I’ve never struggled to express myself. – Alia Bhatt
I come from a protected environment of a Juhu house, and I wasn’t exposed to life as shown in ‘Highway’. It’s not that I’m a snob, but I was cocooned from the reality of life. The film made me aware of life and myself. – Alia Bhatt
You just have to ensure that you make good films because audiences today have become picky and smart, and rightfully so. – Alia Bhatt
Smell is something that attracts me instantly. So if the guy smells nice, there is an instant attraction. – Alia Bhatt
I do weight training and follow strict diet. It is very important to look a certain way. I don’t think being extra skinny and thin is desirable, but you have to be fit. – Alia Bhatt
