In-Conversation with Alia Bhatt
Alia Bhatt is an actor, producer, entrepreneur, environmentalist, and global icon—one of India’s most influential multi-hyphenates.
As an actor, she has delivered acclaimed performances in films such as Highway, Udta Punjab, Raazi, Dear Zindagi, Gully Boy (Berlinale premiere), and Gangubai Kathiawadi (Berlinale premiere, National Award). She made her Hollywood debut with Heart of Stone in 2023.
As a producer, her debut film Darlings became the second most-watched non-English title on Netflix for two weeks, followed by the critically acclaimed series Poacher, directed by Emmy-winning Richie Mehta.
As an entrepreneur, she founded Ed-a-Mamma, a sustainable children’s clothing brand promoting a love of nature.
One of India’s biggest box-office draws, she has also become a global fashion and beauty ambassador. Alia is the first Indian actor to represent Gucci globally, the first Indian featured in Mandarin Oriental’s ‘I’m a Fan’ campaign, and a global ambassador for L’Oreal—debuting at Paris Fashion Week 2024 and Cannes 2025 for the brand. She was among the top five most visible attendees of the Met Gala 2024 and is featured in the BOF 500.
Named to TIME 100 Impact, Forbes 30 Under 30, and Fortune’s 50 Most Powerful Women in Indian Business, Alia is also among India’s top five Instagram accounts.
She will next appear in YRF’s ALPHA and Bhansali Productions’ Love and War.
