The
Reason
Why
Having won the Best Actress trophy at the recently-held Filmfare Awards and Screen Awards, Alia's deglamourised performance as a victim of drug abuse in Udta Punjab could be one of the frontrunners for the Best Actress category at the upcoming 64th National Film Awards.
I Will Be Blown Away If I Get It
"I will be blown away if I get it. It's an honour to win a National Award. I don't know if it's possible, but if it happens, of course, I will be very glad," Alia told IANS.
I Don't Work For Awards
"With awards, you are rewarded for just your efforts. I don't think of it as the be-all and end-all. I don't work for awards, but the year that you get them, it's just that you feel very grateful and you feel very glad that your efforts have been recognised.
You Should Not Take It Seriously
"There's nothing else to feel about it. You shouldn't take it too seriously; and if you don't get it, that doesn't mean that your career is over," added the daughter of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan.
I Started At A Young Age
"More than me, I want other people to say whether it is the high point or low point in my career. For me, these are just points that I wanted to achieve... I started at a young age. It's been five years now. But for me, I don't understand what's younger or older. I don't understand age," Alia said, adding that she wants to "work like this even when I am 40 or 50 or 80, if possible".
I Want To Satisfy My Wants
"There is no thought process while taking up new roles. You just go with an instinct. I don't want to play the same type of characters every time. I don't want people to say that Alia only does these kinds of films -- which is why my choice of films is very different, because I want to satisfy my wants," Alia said.
I Want To Do Everything
"I want to do action, comedy, love story or a biopic -- I want to do everything. That's what I think about while choosing a film. Each time, I want to do different from what I did last," she said.
Alia is currently busy promoting her forthcoming entertainer Badrinath Ki Dulhania and said that, like her previous work, doing this film was also a challenge for her.
"Every film that I pick up is a sort of challenge for me. 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' was challenging because it is (set) in a different place altogether. I am playing a girl from Kota. She is a small-town girl and very different from other characters that I have played. Through such films, you have to make the audience smile and cry at the same time -- that itself is a challenge," she said.
The film is slated to release on March 10.
