Daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actor Soni Razdan, Alia Bhatt's fate of being an actor might have been obvious but the actor did not take her talent or the platform for granted. After making her acting debut as a child artist in the thriller, Sangharsh, which had released in 1999, Alia appeared in Karan Johar's directorial Student of The Year, her big debut. She attracted eyeballs instantly for she did not appear a debutante but a natural in front of the camera.We can thank her parents for that. Her fans still cannot get over her audition video, which was recorded while she was giving audition for her role in SOTY. She also earned her first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut. Alia could have chosen to do roles that were typical Bollywood, running around the trees, romancing co-star in beautiful locales and dance to the tunes of choreographer on some peppy number. But her choices of films left her fans and her followers quite surprised. Alia, over the span of years she has been in the industry, experimented with roles, challenged herself and offered something new to the fans. No one had thought that Alia would choose Imtiaz Ali directorial Highway as her next film, which as a subject was very mature for a girl in her early twenties. But it wouldn't be wrong to say that this character brought out Alia's best and made the audience realise her potential. This film was surely a turning point for the actor and from then, she did not look back and kept giving some path-breaking performances.
