But her debut in SOTY is not her first movie role. She was first seen as a child actress in Sangharsh in 1999, where she played the role of the young Preity Zinta. But it was in 2012, as a nineteen year old actress that she formally recognized and accepted in Bollywood. She is really very adorable, cute and pretty (see photo below).

Alia Bhatt is now not just an actress but a famous commercial model. Her lovely face has been featured in several advertisements; among them are Garnier and Maybelline. Here she is on the cover of Vogue India Magazine (see below photo).

She ranked nineteenth (19th) in the Times of India's list of Most Desirable Women in 2012. It is not surprising that she would be successful in Bollywood; after all, Alia Bhatt comes from family that has been connected with the Indian film industry.
Born on March 15, 1993 in Mumbai, her father (Mahesh) is a film director while her mother Soni Razdan is an actress. Actor Emraan Hashmi, director Mohit Suri and Vishnesh are her cousins while she has the producer Mukesh as an uncle. I expect more challenging and critically-acclaimed roles - portraying mature and adult characters - for her in the future!
Her filmography (movies list):
- 1999 Sangharsh
- 2012 Student of the Year
- 2013 Highway
- 2014 2 States
