Entering the Hollywood arena while clutching one of India’s most revered acting awards, Alia Bhatt has made 2023 a year to remember. Her fans were privy to a heartwarming video on Instagram, where the actor bestowed upon them an array of snapshots capturing these significant moments — from dazzling award ceremonies to candid family snapshots — all bundled into a year of unbelievable achievements.
Embedding the essence of her journey into a simple caption, Bhatt wrote, “2 0 2 3,” as she unveiled the reflective video montage.
The Bollywood fraternity and fans alike responded with endearment and praise. Ranveer Singh, a close friend and cohort on the silver screen, responded with a heart emoji, while a fan emphatically declared, “Was definitely the year of ALIA BHATT!” Another follower extended wishes for continued success and happiness into the coming year.
One of Alia’s crowning performances graced the screens this year in ‘Rocky aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani,’ where she shared the marquee with Ranveer Singh. This Karan Johar directorial, punctuated by a cast comprising stalwarts like Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan, and Shabana Azmi, charmed its way to commercial success.
Johar himself penned a heartfelt tribute to Bhatt, reflective of her dynamic presence on set and the integral role she played in bringing his vision to fruition. Posting a selfie with both Alia and Singh, the director acknowledged the artistic trajectory Alia has charted since her early days in cinema — most notably crediting ‘Highway’ as a pivotal turning point in her career. Johar praised her inquisitive nature and her contributions to the character’s depth, reminiscent of her initial launch film ‘Student of the Year’ where the legend of Alia Bhatt began to take shape.
In a striking representation of art meeting life, Alia’s foray onto the digital scene in ‘Darlings’ bagged her the title of Best Actor (female) at the Filmfare OTT Awards. There, she stunned in a black, saree-inspired ensemble, highlighting her eye for fashion.
Equally memorable was the National Film Awards ceremony, where Alia fetched the Best Actress honor. In a poetic nod to sustainability, she donned her wedding saree, a garment already enriched with personal significance.
The year also welcomed moments of familial bliss as Alia and her husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, introduced their daughter Raha to the world during a Christmas photo op. The couple, known for safeguarding their child’s privacy, shared this special moment with adoring fans.
But Bhatt’s artistic journey is far from its zenith. Looking to the horizon, audiences will see her alongside Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif in ‘Jee Le Zaraa.’ Moreover, she is slated to appear in Vasan Bala’s highly anticipated ‘Jigra.’
Alia Bhatt’s 2023 is a testament to her versatility and commitment as an artist. It’s a narrative of a year embellished with landmark achievements, celebrations of love, and ventures beyond borders. As fans revel in her successes, Bhatt sets her gaze on the future, ready to embrace new roles and scale even greater heights.
