Alia Bhatt

About

One of the most compelling and bankable actors of Bollywood, Alia Bhatt is defined by versatility, instinct, and an unerring ability to inhabit complex roles with emotional precision. For the Gangubai Kathiawadi actor, power “stems from a deep sense of self-awareness”. Beyond acting, she has expanded her creative footprint as the founder of Eternal Sunshine Productions, while also establishing herself as a global cultural presence—becoming the first Indian global ambassador of Gucci and later representing L’Oréal Paris and Levi’s, alongside high-profile appearances at the Met Gala. Ed-a-mamma, a conscious-clothing label focussed on sustainability, further reflects her entrepreneurial spirit. It also led to her debut as an author with the children’s book Ed Finds A Home. “I always feel I am work in progress...every day is a new day with new learnings,” she says. “But I do feel that over the last couple of years, I’ve approached things with a lot more stillness. There’s a clearer intent behind what I choose to do.” At just 33, Bhatt effortlessly navigates multiple roles as actor, producer, entrepreneur, and author.
