Alia Bhatt Ditches Glam Roles, Fresh Genre For Raha
Sometimes, stardom pushes actors to chase blockbusters, but motherhood makes them pause and rethink.
By: Shanaz B Syed | 5 Sept 2025 3:27 PM ISTSometimes, stardom pushes actors to chase blockbusters, but motherhood makes them pause and rethink. Alia Bhatt, the star who dazzled in Student of the Year and went on to rule Bollywood, is now rewriting her career map. At 31, with box office hits and global recognition already in her bag, she is stepping into a new zone. The reason? Her little daughter, Raha.
Alia admitted that most of her films so far were intense or glamorous, and not the kind her child could enjoy. “I want to work in movies that make Raha laugh. From now, comedy will be my priority,” she said in a candid note. She also hinted at already signing a few projects but kept the details under wraps, teasing her fans to stay tuned.
Her journey has always had something special about it. She was born into a family of directors, specifically to Mahesh Bhatt, but she didn't complete her schooling. Still, she found her way into the film industry through Karan Johar's support. From her role in "Highway" to her performance in "Gangubai Kathiawadi," her talent and dedication earned her many awards and a lot of respect. Even though she didn't go to school, Alia showed that natural talent and hard work can make up for what you miss. Now, she is one of the highest-paid actresses in Bollywood, with a net worth that has gone past ₹4,600 crores.
But behind the fame and the big numbers, there's a mother who just wants her daughter to smile and enjoy watching her on screen. It's not about following trends anymore, it's about making memories that Raha can keep forever. If Alia can keep her acting skills strong while also stepping into a new genre, Bollywood might just see comedy take on a new and exciting form. Sometimes, even the most shining stars appear different when viewed through a child's eyes.
