Alia reveals Bollywood’s happy side

Alia Bhatt has a great sense of humour and she is frank. She talks about friendships in Bollywood.

Actresses can be friends

I genuinely believe they can. I’ve hung out with Shraddha and Parineeti and they’re cool. I don’t see why you have to have this ‘oh we have to be like this’ attitude, just because you’re competitors. I can be friends with anyone if I hang out with them.

Styling Parineeti Chopra

She wanted me to style her; I didn’t want to style her. Who am I to style anyone? When we met, we spoke about losing weight. Huma Qureshi, Parineeti and me. We spoke about getting into shape and we were like, “Yeah! Come on we should do it.” Parineeti was like ‘Yes people should see the transformation’. That’s when this came up. We were so excited that we three would change our image.

Friendships in the industry

That’s not true. I have great friendship with the guys I’ve worked with. Whether it’s SidharthMalhotra, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor or Randeep Hooda. Varun and Sidharth have a strongfriendship. Ranveer Singh and Arjun are thick friends. They don’t haveto talk everyday tohave a strong friendship. They’re always looking out for each other. Whenever they meet it’s like two best friends meeting, there’s no animosity between them at all. It’s because they’re mature, they’re smart.

Like while we were promoting 2 States, I also promoted Ek Villian and Main Tera Hero. It should be like that, it shouldn’t be a war.
