Alia Bhatt, who is the only Bollywood actress to make it to this year’s Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list says that she feels no pressure!
Alia Bhatt certainly has every reason to celebrate! The 'Badrinath ki Dulhania' actress is the only Bollywood star to have made it to the coveted Forbes Asia 30 under 30 list.

When asked about the achievement, Alia played it cool saying, “I take everything as it comes without paying too much attention to popularity, success or what people say. I’m just grateful I get to work every day and meet new people. The creative field I’m in keeps me on my toes, keeps me alive and kicking, and I wouldn’t want it any other way.”

On being asked if achievements like these add further pressure and make her more cautious while choosing movies, the actress quipped, "There’s no pressure." Explaining further, Alia added, "The only thing is, one has to be conscious about what you say and do because you don’t want to set the wrong example. You develop a sense of responsibility which comes with being in the limelight. For me, 24 is the oldest I have been, I no longer feel as young as people make me out to be.”

The actress was recently spotted soaking in sun along with Ayan Mukerji in London. When asked if the director-actor duo was there for the preparation of their upcoming film 'Dragon', Alia signed it off saying, "Ayan was doing some prep work for Dragon and I wanted to be involved in the process. So I just landed up in London and joined him.’’
