I am not trying to look like a versatile actor: Alia Bhatt

Alia Bhatt in 'Dear Zindagi'

Whether it’s her stylish demeanour in Student of the
Year
 or rugged ‘desi’ avatar in Udta Punjab, Alia Bhatt has time
and again shown her range as an actor. She says choosing different roles is a
question of challenging herself and not about proving her versatility.

Alia said here: “I truly believe that stardom comes
with a great amount of work behind you. In technical terms, it comes with a
body of work. As an actor, I am glad I am able to perform versatile
roles.”

“It’s a conscious effort to do so, but I am not trying
to look like a versatile actor. I just want to challenge myself. I have to do
different things and experiment,” she added.

Alia, who made her debut with Student Of The Year, was
also appreciated in subsequent projects like Highway, 2 States, Humpty
Sharma Ki Dulhania 
and Kapoor & Sons. Her role as a victim
of the drug menace in Udta Punjab is also worth a mention.

Her next project Dear Zindagi sees her in a fresh
avatar with superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

“Every actor looks forward to work with him. It’s a
dream come true for every actor. I am all the more happy because this is the
kind of film for both of us to do together which is so unique and
interesting.”

“We have not seen this genre before, and I am most
excited to see how people react,” said the actress, who plays an an aspiring
filmmaker on the lookout for unanswered questions, in the film.

The Gauri Shinde directorial, described as a slice-of-life
film, also features Ali Zafar, Aditya Roy Kapur, Kunal Kapoor and Angad Bedi.
