Despite the grandeur, she emphasized the importance of staying light-hearted and enjoying the moment. Alia remarked, “It’s not about giving yourself too much pressure and taking it seriously. It’s a massive deal, but it was also about having fun and being light on the inside, so your face looks lit up and happy. That’s something I was focusing on. Having said that, I really had a lovely time.”
Away from the red carpet glitz, Alia’s upcoming projects continue to draw anticipation. Fans can look forward to her roles in “Jigra,” directed by Vasan Bala and co-produced with Karan Johar, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s “Love and War,” where she stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
