Bollywood
actress
Alia
Bhatt,
who
has
struck
gold
with
her
previous
two
releases,
feels
she
has
grown
as
an
actor
in
the
last
three
years
after
her
debut
with
Student
of
the
Year.
The
young
actress
is
in
the
city
with
co-actor
Varun
Dhawan
to
promote
their
upcoming
film
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania.
"When
I
started
working,
I
was
just
17
(years).
I
am
21
now.
This
is
like
a
period
when
I
am
growing
up.
It
has
been
a
strange
experience
for
me
as
I
feel
I
have
grown
quickly
and
at
times
feel
like
a
child," she
said
in
a
press
conference.
The
Highway
star
said
she
feels
privileged
to
work
with
ace
directors
of
the
industry.
"I
felt
a
change
in
my
personality
and
I
also
feel
the
growth
as
an
actor.
I
have
got
the
privilege
of
working
with
directors
like
Karan
Johar,
Imtiaz
Ali,
Abhiskek
Verman
and
Shashank
Khaitan.
I
have
learnt
a
lot
from
all
of
them," she
said.
Varun
and
Alia,
who
were
earlier
seen
in
Student
of
the
year,
have
once
again
paired
up
for
the
romcom.
Varun,
who
is
playing
the
title
role
of
Humpty
Sharma,
said
he
has
visited
Hyderabad
several
times
as
a
child,
accompanying
his
father
David
Dhawan
on
shooting
for
a
couple
of
his
films.
When
asked
whether
he
was
willing
to
work
down
South,
Varun
said
he
is
open
to
the
idea
of
working
in
Telugu
films.
In
the
film,
Alia
is
essaying
the
role
of
Kavya
Pratap
Singh,
which
also
features
Sidharth
Shukla
and
Ashutosh
Rana
in
key
roles.
"I
am
happy
with
the
choices
I
have
made
so
far.
As
for
making
friends,
hopefully
I
have
not
made
any
enemies.
I
have
made
some
very
strong
friends,"
Alia
said.
Produced
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions,
the
film
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania
marks
the
directorial
debut
of
Khaitan.
It
will
hit
