Alia Bhatt's fans may already know that the actor has always had a deep admiration for the actor, Ranbir Kapoor, right from his debut movie in Bollywood.

Alia also described how she liked Ranbir's ease of acting stating that Ranbir will always be her favourite as he is very hardworking, honest, and effortless in whatever he does.

On asking whether she got any tips from Ranbir in terms of acting, she replied that there is no process that Ranbir follows when it comes to acting and in a sense, he is like her when it comes to acting. She mentioned that he sets to work in front of the camera and as soon as he is off-camera, he instantly turns to eat chocolates or being his curious self. She said that the idea for Brahmastra was already in Ayan Mukerji's mind when he had just completed filming of Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

Lots of actors do that.. the pleas might not always be heard but it's quite common to plead/lobby for roles

Chalo iss nepotism ko rishtedaari me badal de🤣

The line 'the idea for Brahmastra was already in his mind' cracked me up. Jaise chal raha hai, mind me hi na reh jaye.😆

Bach gayi jo bhi cast hone wali thi.

This film might never see light of day. Does it count😆

This reminds me of her and varun. I mean they are popular but no one has ever cast them together apart from dharma despite them being bankable. I doubt any other prod house will ever cast them together but who knows might have to eat my own words one day. Same here she always has dharma to rely on if no one else they easily can make her work with ranbir (when by 2012 she literally had one movie out).

The luxuries of saying oh i want to work with this actor and for it to happen.

Pleading for a flop in making.

It is sad to see that Aloo actually doesn't need to have the majority of blinds published on her for an image destruction or to be disliked by the audience. Imagine if she had gotten as many blinds as Sushant.

Oh I’m sure Karan will find some way to release it for his beti. And make sure it is a hit too!

I wonder where her career would be if it wasn't for Dharma? Just imagine!
