Alaya
F
is
the
talk
of
the
town
after
a
successful
debut
in
films
with
Jawaani
Jaaneman
co-starring
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Tabu.
Although
she
is
Pooja
Bedi's
daughter,
the
young
actor
faced
a
lot
of
rejection
before
she
bagged
this
film.
But
she
never
kept
a
plan
B
in
case
acting
didn't
work
out.
Alaya
knew
right
from
the
start
when
she
fell
in
love
with
acting,
that
no
matter
what,
she
would
stick
to
it.
In
an
interview
with
IANS,
Alaya
opened
up
about
how
facing
rejection
used
to
upset
her
when
she
was
auditioning
for
roles.
"Initially,
people
would
have
reasons
to
say
no.
I
would
be
very
upset.
I
would
wonder
'why
not?'
Then
I
realized
that
if
people
are
making
a
film
and
investing
crores
in
it,
at
the
end
of
the
day
they
have
to
make
a
decision
that
is
right
for
their
film,"
she
said.
"Once
I
realized
that,
I
focused
on
doing
my
best.
Now
when
I
see
Jawaani
Jaaneman,
I
feel
the
character
is
exactly
like
me.
I
remember
looking
at
the
character
and
saying,
'oh
my
god!
I
am
perfect
for
the
character'.
I
was
lucky
to
fit
into
this
role.
I
was
lucky
that
Tia
was
like
me
and
thankfully
they
also
liked
my
acting.
It
worked
out
well," she
added.
When
asked
if
she
ever
had
a
back-up
plan,
she
said,
"Before
I
started
this,
l
said
'I
love
doing
this.
No
matter
what,
I
will
stick
to
this.
Sooner
or
later,
it
will
work
out.'
I
didn't
keep
a
back-up
plan."
Alaya
has
already
signed
a
three-film
deal
with
Northern
Lights
Films,
and
another
one
with
Pooja
Entertainment,
but
she
hasn't
spilled
any
beans
on
any
of
them.
She
says
that
she
is
exploring
her
options
now
as
people
are
showing
interest
in
her.
She
is
very
grateful
for
that
and
she
just
hopes
that
she
makes
the
right
choices.
