Alia Bhatt is the shining star of Bollywood. Alia came from a film family and later became one of the biggest heroines in Bollywood. Alia has managed to turn even those who teased her as the Nepo Kid at the start of her career into fans with astonishing performances. The truth is that there is no one else who can beat Alia in Bollywood today in terms of talent and star value. Dear Zindagi is one of the best performances of Alia's career. Directed by Gauri Shinde, the film featured Alia and Shahrukh Khan in lead roles. The theme of the film and the acting of Alia and Shah Rukh were applauded. At the same time, an interesting fact is that earlier in the film, another actress was considered as the heroine instead of Alia.
Meanwhile, another interesting fact is that even Alia came to know later that she was not the first choice in the film. Rajiv shares this information with Alia during an interview with Rajiv Masand. Rajeev says that it was Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar who influenced Gauri to give Alia the lead role. Alia says that she knew that before her, another actress was considered as the heroine of the film. But Alia says that she did not know who it was or that it was Shahrukh and Karan's intervention that made her the heroine.
"I know that earlier someone else was going to be the heroine. Then there are talks that the film will come to me. That's all I know. Then Gauri came to see me and the movie started. Now, I don't know if she was sure about me. Maybe it's because I'm young. But sometimes directors have to think differently," said Alia. Reports say that Gauri was considering Katrina Kaif as the female lead in Dear Zindagi before Alia. Later, Alia becomes the heroine. Anyway, Alia's performance confirmed that decision. Even today fans are applauding Arya's performance in Dear Zindagi.
