Alia Bhatt, Bollywood’s sparkling gem, has effortlessly captured hearts with her talent, charisma, and fearless career moves. After dazzling audiences with her performance alongside Gal Gadot in Heart of Stone, Alia appeared poised to take Hollywood by storm. But wait looks like being a global superstar comes with a few extra challenges when you’re also embracing the joys of motherhood!
In a lively chat on Kareena Kapoor Khan’s show, What Women Want, Alia spilled the beans about her Hollywood journey and her plans for future international escapades. Spoiler alert: navigating a jet-setting career while juggling diapers isn’t as easy as it seems!
When Kareena, always the inquisitive diva, pressed Alia about her Hollywood aspirations, the actress gave a refreshingly honest response. “It really comes down to timing. When Heart of Stone landed in my lap, I had the time to dive in. It was an intriguing opportunity much like my experience with RRR,” she explained. “It’s not about ticking off ‘Hollywood’ from a list; it’s about challenging myself and pushing my boundaries.”
But since welcoming baby Raha into the world, Alia revealed that spontaneity is a luxury she can no longer afford. “Now, it’s way tougher to just pack up and leave for three to four months. I can’t just take off without a thought anymore,” she confessed.
Kareena, never one to shy away from a little teasing, chimed in with a playful suggestion that Alia’s husband, Ranbir Kapoor, would gladly play the role of the stay-at-home dad while she chases Hollywood dreams. “He’s totally obsessed with Raha,” Kareena joked, sparking a fit of laughter from Alia.
Alia smiled at the thought but made it clear that her decisions are more nuanced than simply switching parenting roles. “It’s not just about convenience; it’s about the right story and the right timing. I can’t say yes to something just because it sounds good at the moment,” she clarified.
As Alia skillfully balances her flourishing Bollywood career with her new role as a mom, it’s evident that any future Hollywood project will require serious consideration. “It’s all about finding that balance,” she said. “I want to dive into exciting projects, but I also want to be fully present for my family.”
And speaking of exciting projects, Alia has some thrilling films lined up! She’s currently working on the much-anticipated spy thriller Alpha and will share the screen again with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s grand epic, Love & War.
While fans eagerly await Alia’s next move, she’s making it clear that for now, it’s all about the right script, the right time, and making sure baby Raha gets her fair share of cuddles. Hollywood, if you’re listening, patience is key. The Bhatt magic may take its time, but it’s always worth the wait!
