Alia Bhatt on Mahesh Bhatt: Had not been his daughter, my visibility would have suffered

Mumbai: Being filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's daughter doesn't make her privileged. Being successful doesn't make her snobbish. And despite all the luxuries and luck, Alia Bhatt says her survival in filmdom is as difficult as any



The young and successful 21-year-old claims to have her feet grounded.

"No, success shouldn't sink in because then it goes to your head and you become over confident. Your work starts suffering. People start getting irritated. I don't think that will ever help you to grow as an actor and a performer," said the actress.

She doesn't only act, Alia sings too and went behind the mike to croon "Main tenu samjhanva ki" for "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania", a modern tribute to "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge".

Talking about her role in Shashank Khaitan's directorial, she said: "I am playing a girl called Kavya who belongs to a small town Ambala. Her concerns in life are very restricted. Her ambitions are not too high.

"Her motto in life is very simple like getting married in designer Manish Malhotra's lehenga and therefore she is carefree. She is always stress free, unlike me... Kavya gets happy without thinking much. And that is the reason why she is one different type of girl."
