Mahesh Bhatt recently visited the sets of Indian reality series, Yaar Mera Superstar to promote
one of his upcoming films and spoke proudly of his daughter Alia Bhatt.
Bhatt said it is beyond his understanding, the way in which Alia has a level of confidence in
herself to look further than being just an actress. He related a conversation he had where he told
her, “Look Alia, whenever you get a little too impressed with your performance, just take a look
at the work of the mightiest and it will demolish you. You need to deconstruct yourself all the
time.” Her response was, “I just don’t want to be only an actor. I want to be something more.”
At twenty three years old, Alia is already an established Bollywood actress without relying on
her father’s fame. One of the most treasured gifts Alia has given to her father, he said was her
first autograph after her debut in Student of the Year, where she wrote, “Thank you papa, for not
helping me at all.”
