Alia Bhatt On Jee Le Zaraa: The Star Shares Details About Working With Priyanka And Katrina
“I’m quite excited”
Alia Bhatt On Jee Le Zaraa: The award-winning actor shares her excitement towards the film…
With a major Hollywood debut and no less than five Filmfare Awards under her belt, India’s most exciting cinematic talent is not only a force to be reckoned with on screen, but is pretty formidable in the flesh, too.
The day after our shoot, Alia collected her fifth Best Actress Filmfare Award, this time for Gangubai Kathiawadi, and as we went to press made her Met Gala debut in pearl-encrusted Prabal Gurung. Her foray into Hollywood also hits this summer, with blockbuster action flick Heart of Stone launching on Netflix on August 11th. It’s all less than 18 months after she got married to fellow actor Ranbir Kapoor and had a baby, no doubt transforming her life completely. Is she slowing down? It certainly doesn’t look like it. But should it matter either way? On this, as with everything else we spoke about, Alia Bhatt shared deeply. Small talk? No chance.
Here she speaks to Harper’s Bazaar Arabia’s Editor in Chief Olivia Phillips about her role choices and excitement towards working with Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif…

“I think that Priyanka, me and Katrina are already doing roles that are sparking new conversations,” she stated.
“We’re doing more female friendship films. We don’t see much of that. Girls’ trips, girls just being friends and not fighting over stupid things,” the award-winning actor shares.
“I’m quite excited about that. We realised [how important it was] when we announced it and the response we were met with was so positive. I remember PC [Priyanka Chopra] saying, ‘You don’t really know what you’re missing until you actually claim it,”’ she added.
Alia Bhatt’s upcoming release Jee Le Zaraa will star Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, and will be directed by the renowned filmmaker and actor Farhan Akhtar.
