You know, even though I’m not a massive fan of teen drama or young adult romance, I loved watching Student of the Year, the Indian version of the golden trio – Alia, Sidharth, and Varun stole my teenage heart and never gave it back (I’m not complaining about it though). FYI, the 2012 film completed 10 years at the box office and it was the debut movie of Alia Bhatt, who is currently one of the top Bollywood actresses. Her journey is so amazing!

After the release of Student of the Year, almost everyone labelled Alia Bhatt as a bimbo star kid, who played the role of Shanaya Singhania. Well, I will admit that she played the role of a rich girl who was more focused on finding a guy/love rather than her studies. But you know, we should not judge a book by its cover or a movie star by her first film. The Brahmāstra actress has proved that she is a brilliant actress by delivering multiple hits within a year.

And speaking of her career growth, Alia has also balanced conventional and unconventional roles, she featured in male-centric movies like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania but she also impressed the audience by starring in Highway, Dear Zindagi Raazi, and Gangubai Kathiawadi. For the unversed, Alia Bhatt has become an entrepreneur and also launched her own production company along with her sister Shaheen Bhatt called Eternal Sunshine Productions. She is clearly ruling Bollywood and how!

In an Instagram post, Alia Bhatt mentioned that she is grateful for the film every single day and promised to be better, dream deeper, and work harder.
