It
was
31
January
2020,
a
time
right
before
the
pandemic,
Nitin
Kakkar
directed,
comedy-drama
Jawaani
Jaaneman
came
into
theaters
where
the
audience
saw
a
new
face
on
the
big
screen
alongside
two
senior
actors.
It
was
Alaya
F,
shining
bright
in
her
debut
film
alongside
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Tabu.
She
is
one
of
those
young
talented
actress
of
the
industry
who
have
proved
her
caliber
in
her
debut
film.
Where
newcomers
think
of
having
a
safe
release
of
their
first
film,
Alaya's
debut
film
Jawaani
Jaaneman
got
released
just
before
the
pandemic,
making
it
a
few
of
the
last
movies
that
appeared
in
theaters
since
the
pandemic.
But
the
actress
has
proved
her
strong
presence
having
so
talented
and
experienced
actors
like
Saif
Ali
Khan
and
Tabu
along
with
her.
As
the
film
has
been
completed
2
years
now,
the
actress
remembers
the
time
of
her
debut
release,
"It's
incredible
to
think
that
my
debut
film,
Jawaani
Jaaneman,
was
released
two
years
ago
now.
It
will
always
be
such
a
special
movie
to
me,
not
only
because
it
was
my
first
but
because
I
was
so
lucky
to
be
working
with
people
that
were
so
talented,
so
kind
and
so
generous.
I
have
only
fond,
happy
memories
when
I
look
back
at
the
whole
journey.
Saif
Sir,
Tabu
ma'am,
Jayu
sir,
Nitin
sir,
Pooja
entertainment,
everyone
made
me
feel
heard
and
appreciated
and
it
enabled
me
to
learn
so
much
and
grow
so
much," the
actress
said.
The
industry
and
the
audience
have
also
generously
accepted
Alaya.
This
new
talent
hasn't
taken
much
time
to
win
the
hearts.
She
continued,
"Even
after
it
released,
the
response
I
got
from
the
industry
and
audiences
was
so
heartwarming
and
so
motivating".
Alaya
has
got
everything
needed
to
start
her
journey
in
Bollywood
but
soon
after
the
release
of
her
first
film,
lockdown
happened.
But
the
actress
feels
lucky
that
the
audience
has
seen
her
performance.
The
actress
was
bolling
to
deliver
her
next
performance
for
her
fans
and
the
audience
also
would
love
to
see
her
in
more
films,
but
most
of
her
time
after
the
release
went
into
the
pandemic.
Sharing
her
thoughts
about
her
journey
she
said,
"I
think
we
were
one
of
the
last
films
to
come
out
before
the
lockdown.
Still,
I
do
feel
blessed
that
I
got
my
chance
to
be
in
theatres
and
for
the
film
to
run
its
course
and
all
the
other
things
that
followed.
But
sometimes
I
do
feel
a
little
sad
when
I
realise
that
pretty
much
my
entire
career
has
been
a
Covid
lockdown".
And
now,
the
actress
is
celebrating
2
years
of
her
debut
film.
She
has
delivered
a
performance
which
is
rarely
seen
in
any
newcomers.
Having
herself
standing
in
front
of
two
famous
actors
of
Bollywood,
Alaya
doesn't
make
the
audience
feel
it
was
her
first
film.
Her
performance
was
so
complete.
That's
what
made
her
the
favorite
of
critics
and
audience.
The
film
gave
a
permanent
position
in
the
industry
that
still
today
she
is
shining
bright
in
the
eyes
of
her
fans.
"A
film
that
was
released
two
years
ago
gave
me
such
a
solid
start
that
I
managed
to
stay
seen,
despite
having
no
other
releases.
I
think
it's
because
Jawaani
Jaaneman
was
just
all
heart".
The
actress
persisted
in
a
thankful
gesture
to
her
debut
release.
It's
been
a
long
wait
for
her
fans
to
see
her
in
her
next
film,
but
seems
like
the
wait
is
over.
Alaya
has
3
films
in
her
kitty
which
she
has
already
shot
for.
One
is
titled
Freddy
alongside
Kartik
Aaryan,
other
is
UTurn
which
she
recently
wrapped,
the
3rd
movie
has
not
been
officially
announced
yet.
