Alia Bhatt’s ‘Ask Me Anything’ digs deep
Alia Bhatt, currently trending as the jaw-dropping Rani from RARKPK, did an ‘Ask Me Anything’ session on her Instagram story today and it only gets better as it escalates. Fans have asked insightful, important questions and Alia’s responses have only proved that she’s more than a mere fun-loving girl on-screen. She’s intuitive, composed and knows how to handle life maturely. So far, she has answered 13 questions. Let’s glimpse over:
Firstly, someone wanted to know Alia’s personal favourite jam from RARKPK. The photo speaks for itself. It’s Kudmayi, the wedding song towards the end of the movie.
Alia Bhatt’s current profile picture on Instagram is undoubtedly super sweet. Since it looks like a camera shot, a fan wanted to know if the cameraperson behind it is her husband Ranbir Kapoor. And of course it was! She also says that Ranbir is her most favourite photographer ever.
Alia Bhatt has so gracefully transitioned into a time and energy-consuming phase of motherhood while remaining a public person that we almost forget she has a child to begin with. Karan Johar once revealed that Alia Bhatt had begun working immediately after giving birth, something that isn’t a cakewalk. For the body to heal from labour trauma, it takes at least a few months. But, as an actress, she had to do what needed to be done and yet, we never see a frown on her face!
“Words that are meant to hurt you can hurt you only if you let them” Alia says it all so wisely like she has it rehearsed, so poetically! But, it all comes from experience. It’s not a secret, the amount of hate and dismissal she has received over the years because she’s from a family of pre-established celebrities. Ripping through those layers, she has always given a comeback through her movies. She’s never seen responding to haters which shows she believes in saving her energy for what’s really worth her time.
Of course, there had to be another ‘favourite’ question from RARKPK. Alia loves the cassata saree she’s wearing in Tum Kya Mile, a breathtaking gradient of pop pink, and pista green with a seamless blend of white, pastel pink and green in the middle with a solid coloured green blouse. What a sophisticated piece of art!
Alia isn’t afraid of being non-fancy about such questions. She doesn’t pretend to be ‘high-end’ or ‘productive’. While fans expect celebrities to be enthusiastic throughout their day and do ‘intelligent’ things like read or workout or perform Yoga in their free time, Alia is here to tell you that such isn’t always the case. She subtly reminds us that artists are humans too and like to sleep between shoots or small breaks. Power nap over power Yoga any time of the day!
Ever since Elvish is slaying the crown, people can’t seem to remain quiet about it. It’s funny in a way but also heartwarming in a sense to see random, off-topic comments about Elvish Yadav in comment section that you land into. ‘Elvish Yadav jeetega’ is the most commonly used one. For the unversed, Elvish Yadav is a YouTuber who entered Bigg Boss OTT 2 as a wild card entry contestant and became the first one in the history of Bigg Boss to become a wild card winner. Alia Bhatt, like everyone else, also showed her love for him by using his nickname ‘Systum’ with several heart emojis.
Haters may hate Alia for every role she played but they fail to hold the rage when Gangubai enters the game. With this movie, Alia turned more than half of her haters into lovers and the remaining who still don’t like her ended up envying her for her talent that can’t be left uncomplimented or replicated. Alia Bhatt says Gangubai’s best dialogue in her eyes is, “Gangu chaand thi aur Chand hi rahegi!!!” (Gangu was a moon and will always remain one)
Again, Alia reverts to her ‘wise woman’ side with this question. It is needless to say that she has reached a point in her life where she’s surpassed the stage of getting affected by what people say. It radiates on her glowing face and personality both, which only takes her one step closer towards her goals every day.
Heart Of Stone is Alia Bhatt’s Hollywood debut with Wonder Woman Gal Gadot and Christian Grey Jamie Dornan on OTT. However, it’s odd that she didn’t promote her debut on her platform. She explains that it is because of SAG-AFTRA strike. To know briefly, SAG-AFTRA stands for Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists that appealed against AMPTP regarding issues that needed to be addressed. Since the careers of countless performers across the world were jeopardized, they went on a collective strike. In support of that, The Heart Of Stone team has decided to subtract promotions from the plan until brighter days roll.
Since the day Raha was born, she’s been Alia’s ‘lucky mascot’. Although she doesn’t reveal her face for safety reasons, it doesn’t stop her from talking about how lovely her daughter is. In a recent interview, she was glittery-eyed, revealing to the world how she never leaves the house without Raha’s approval through a nod or a little smile. Raha is soon to turn 1 and it will sure be grand!
Alia’s take on mental health is a breath of fresh air. Listening to her talk so acceptingly and freely about anxiety itself is healing in one way or the other. Coming back to the main point, in the video, she says that the problem with people when they feel anxious is they try to hide and pretend to be okay. She tells her fans to let the emotion flow and not push it back. More importantly, she talks about anxiety attacks and says that personally, for her, the ‘5-4-3-2-1 coping technique for anxiety‘ does great wonders. But, on the flipside, if the anxiety is just because of a phase, it helps to remember that change is the only constant and the phase will soon go away.
Whether or not people like them as a couple, nothing can escape the truth that they are married and he does hold great significance in bringing immense emotional and mental strength to Alia. She always says she can be herself in front of him and that’s one of the traits to look for in a partner.
