From Gangubai to Veera in Highway, it has been delightful to see Alia Bhatt's evolution as an actor. Here are her top seven iconic roles that won our hearts.
Gangubai Kathiawadi
Bhatt's performance as Gangubai won her many awards. Gangubai's rise from a prostitute to an advocate for sex workers was portrayed perfectly by Bhatt.
Darlings
A narrative about a woman's wrath on her violent husband, Darlings is one of Bhatt's best performances. The story unfolds in a humorous manner, but talks about a serious topic of domestic violence.
Highway
Bhatt's Veera was one of her most prolific roles. She did an excellent job at playing a kidnapped girl who finds freedom on India's highways.
Raazi
Based on a true story, Raazi follows the tale of Bhatt playing an innocent Kashmiri girl who is trained to become a RAW agent. It is one of the most stellar performances by Bhatt.
Dear Zindagi
Bhatt plays the role of Kiara who contacts Dr Jehangir Khan, a psychologist played by Shahrukh Khan, after she experiences a series of career and relationship downturns. Bhatt deserves praise for her skillful and nuanced depiction of playing a person struggling with mental health issues.
Udta Punjab
Bhatt's portrayal of an illegal migrant dealing with drug problems is regarded as one of her most fierce performances. The film proves her versatility as an actor.
Gully Boy
Opposite Ranveer Singh's Murad, Bhatt played Safeena who gave a killer performance in the movie. Despite Singh being the protagonist, Bhatt managed to dominate the screen with her marvellous acting.
