Film director Mahesh Bhatt shared his feelings about Alia and her work. He said he had no idea that Alia was passionate about acting, either. What's even shocking is that Karan Johar liked Alia's work. He also mentioned that he didn't see any traits of acting in Alia Bhatt. He said,'' I’m very happy she’s a self-made girl. Alia has astounded me! What is unique about her is that she has a taste for taking risks, and she’s taken detours into diverse narratives. Alia has gone through an alchemical change after she became a mother. I see a new depth in her. With this young girl becoming a mother, there’s a coming-of-age of a different kind, a different kind of maturity in her''.
