Mumbai
March 15, 2017
Actress Alia Bhatt, whose look from her upcoming film "Raazi" was unveiled on
her 25th birthday on Thursday, says movies keep her alive.
Alia and
"Raazi" producer Karan Johar treated her fans to a glimpse into her look for the
film, which is directed by Meghna Gulzar. It is a period drama based on Harinder
Sikka's novel "Calling Sehmat", about a Kashmiri spy married to a Pakistani man
during the 1971 India-Pakistan war.
Alia, who started her film journey
with "Student of The Year" and has impressed critics and audiences with projects
like "Highway", "Udta Punjab", "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" and "Dear Zindagi" among
others, shared two images from "Raazi" on Instagram.
"Movies, or in this
case my movies, aren't just something I do for a living. It's kind of the reason
I feel like I'm alive. So... On my 25th birthday I've randomly picked out two
images from the 25th day of shoot of 'Raazi' and the trailer will be out 25 days
from today (April 9)... Happy Birthday to me," wrote the daughter of cinema
veterans Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan.
Alia's "Raazi" look, as shared by
Karan, features a close shot of the actress' face, which has minimal make-up.
She is seen wearing simple golden earrings and a nose stud for jewellery.
Vicky Kaushal, her co-star from the film, described her an "amazing human".
The Twitter world was abuzz with wishes for the young talent, who is counted
amongst the best actresses in Bollywood today.
"Your growth as an actor
has been phenomenal and this is just the beginning. Keep doing what you do best!
Good luck," wished Anil Kapoor via Twitter.
Akshay Kumar called her
"immensely talented", and said: "You're the perfect example of 'good work speaks
for itself'."
Composer Shankar Mahadevan wished Alia a "journey full of
happiness and success ahead".
Her "Udta Punjab" and "Shaandaar" co-star
Shahid Kapoor had a word of advice for Alia.
"Happy birthday! Enjoy these
years, they don't come back. May you grow creatively even more than you already
have. And may you be happy... always."
Designer Maseba Mantena, who
lovingly calls Alia as "Aloo", said: "It's hard to believe you're just 25.
You've come a long way and I can hardly wait to see what you do in the next leg
of your incredibly inspiring life."
Others who wished her include Neha
Kakkar, Riteish Deshmukh, Shraddha Kapoor, Pulkit Samrat, Maniesh Paul, Sophie
Choudry and Nimrat Kaur.
