MARCH 15,2024

On March 15, 2024, Alia Bhatt, the young and talented actress of 'Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani', celebrates her 31st birthday. She made her debut in 2012 with Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year' and has since delivered memorable performances in films such as Highway, Raazi, and Dear Zindagi.

In 2022, she won the National Award for Best Actress for her outstanding performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'.

To celebrate Alia Bhatt's birthday, let's take a look back at when she appeared on the reality TV show 'Jeena Isi Ka Kaam Hai' at the age of eight, alongside her parents and sister.

When A young Alia Bhatt wanted to become an actress

The Bhatt family appeared together in one episode of the show, hosted by Suresh Oberoi. The video of this show went viral a few years ago, particularly because it featured a young Alia. In the video, her father, Mahesh Bhatt, introduced her by saying, 'She's aspiring to be an actress.'

The young Alia looked very cheerful and confident on the show. When asked what she wanted to become after growing up, Alia replied promptly, 'Actress banungi.' (I'll be an actress.)

Shaheen Bhatt, her elder sister, also appeared on the show with her. However, when asked whether she wanted to be an actress or enter the film industry, Shaheen straight up refused the idea.

Instead, she shared her aspiration to become a writer. Today, she is a successful author and a mental health activist.
