Alia Bhatt has been making a splash on the international scene ever since she stepped into Hollywood with Gal Gadot’s Heart of Stone in 2022. Recently, when discussing her future Hollywood projects, she candidly shared the challenges she’s facing, acknowledging that navigating this new phase of her career isn’t as simple as it used to be. She expressed, “Now, it’s harder to just pack up and leave for three to four months.”
During a heartfelt conversation with Kareena Kapoor Khan on the fifth season of What Women Want, Alia Bhatt delved into the dedication required for international projects, reflecting on her Hollywood debut. Curious to learn more about Alia’s journey, Kareena inquired about her plans regarding future Hollywood ventures.
Alia elaborated that her decision to take on Hollywood endeavors depends greatly on timing. When the opportunity to star in Heart of Stone arose, she found herself with the availability and saw it as a thrilling chance to explore new horizons, much like her experience with RRR. To her, it’s not merely about the obligation to do a Hollywood film but rather about embracing challenges that spur personal development.
While Alia remains open to global opportunities, she confessed that her priorities have shifted since embracing motherhood. She acknowledged the difficulty of leaving for extended periods, stressing the importance of thorough preparation before committing to such projects. “Now, it’s harder to just pack up and leave for three to four months. I can’t just move bags and baggage for longer periods anymore,” she shared.
In a light-hearted moment, Kareena jokingly suggested that Ranbir Kapoor would happily take care of their daughter Raha while Alia focuses on her career, mentioning, “He’s obsessed.”
Alia chuckled at the playful remark but emphasized that her choices are guided by deeper contemplations. She emphasized the significance of elements like the storyline, timing, and her genuine excitement for the project in her decision-making process. For Alia, striking a balance between her professional aspirations and personal life is crucial, ensuring that each endeavor feels purposeful rather than impulsive.
In a previous chat with Instant Bollywood, Ranbir Kapoor opened up about his journey into fatherhood, humorously mentioning that he’s currently engrossed in his ‘home production’, referring to his daughter Raha. With a smile, he expressed, “It’s just the best feeling in the world.”
On the work front, Alia Bhatt is diligently working on her upcoming spy thriller Alpha, where she shares the screen with Sharvari Wagh. Additionally, audiences can look forward to seeing her in the highly-anticipated film Love & War, helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, alongside her husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
