After
proving
herself
as
an
actor
in
Highway,
Alia
Bhatt
wants
her
future
film
choices
to
be
equally
brave
and
varied.
Alia,
who
is
the
daughter
of
Mahesh
Bhatt,
had
a
tailor-made
entry
into
Bollywood
with
Karan
Johar's
hit
Student
of
the
Year.
The
21-year-old
actor,
however,
impressed
critics
in
her
subsequent
outings
in
Highway
and
2
States.
In
her
fourth
film,
Alia
plays
a
gusty
heroine,
who
is
a
woman
of
today.
"Kavya
(her
character)
is
very
fiery
and
lively
girl.
She
wears
her
heart
on
her
sleeves.
Coming
from
a
small
place,
she
holds
her
values
dear
but
she
is
a
woman
of
today.
She
has
a
strong
opinion.
This
is
why
she
is
the
one
who
is
carrying
the
hero
in
the
film's
posters," Alia
said
in
an
interview.
The
actress
admits
that
the
pressure
has
increased
now
that
she
has
three
films
behind
her
but
that
would
not
influence
her
film
choices.
"The
pressure
is
always
there.
But
I
know
that
I
want
to
do
good
films.
I
want
to
stand
out
with
all
my
characters
and
I
want
to
give
the
audience
as
much
variety
as
possible," she
says.
She
has
reteamed
with
her
Student
of
the
Year
co-star
Varun
Dhawan
for
a
second
time
for
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania.
Alia
says
their
chemistry
will
look
good
because
they
were
more
comfortable
with
camera
this
time.
"The
chemistry
is
good
because
of
the
characters
we
are
playing.
Also,
I
think
we
were
not
as
nervous
and
as
confused
about
what
we
were
supposed
to
do
in
front
of
the
camera.
It
became
very
organic,"
she
says.
After
crooning
for
'Sooha
Saha' in
Imtiaz
Ali's
Highway,
Alia
took
to
mic
again
to
sing
Rahet
Fateh
Ali-rendered
'Samjhawan'
in
an
unplugged
version.
The
self-confessed
bathroom
singer
was
not
scared
to
take
on
the
popular
number.
"I
was
not
scared
because
I
am
not
a
professional
singer.
I
knew
that
if
I
mess
up
I
would
not
get
as
much
flak.
I
love
to
sing.
It
gives
me
a
certain
sense
of
peace.
I
am
not
singing
to
impress
anybody
and
I
am
very
proud
and
happy
that
I
got
an
opportunity
to
sing
this
song," she
says.
Ask
her
whether
she
would
like
to
take
it
beyond,
Alia
says
she
wants
to
explore
her
singing
side
further.
"Definitely,
I
want
to
explore
it.
I
was
advised
by
A
R
Rahman
to
take
my
singing
seriously
and
I
am
thinking
about
it."
The
film
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania
has
been
directed
by
debutant
Shashank
Khaitan
and
produced
by
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions.
Humpty
Sharma
Ki
Dulhania,
is
slated
to
release
this
Friday.
