Alia Bhatt

Even though I try not to overthink and dress the way I want to, I admit that there's way too much pressure on female actors to look good. I'm well aware that I don't have the perfect body type. I'm constantly struggling with myself to achieve the perfect body. ”

There are times I try to look older. And then there are times I look too young. ”

Everyone's films have done well of late. So when your film doesn't do well, you ask yourself, 'Oh, did I make a wrong choice?' And I strongly feel that it's your choices that make a good career. The track record has to be good. ”

I have my way of dealing with lows in my career: I just go on a holiday. Coping with a failure of a film is like coping with a break-up. It's sad and heart-breaking, and it's not like I got over it right after my holiday; it took me some time. ”

In reality, I'm very restless, and I get bored very easily. It's the same with my career: I need to outperform myself with every film. ”

I didn't have any fixed goals when I joined the film industry. I don't particularly feel 'successful,' but I am grateful that my career is going well. ”

I need to be bad. I don't want to burn out. I also don't want to be a person who is always performance-oriented. I also want to have some fun. ”

The photographers are always around. Wherever I go, they start clicking incessantly. I am always like, 'At least give me a heads-up, as, many times, I look so disheveled. What will people think?' ”

I do weight training and follow strict diet. It is very important to look a certain way. I don't think being extra skinny and thin is desirable, but you have to be fit. ”

One day, I would like to be a part of a stage production, preferably a musical. ”
