Mumbai: Alia Bhatt has shared her experiences with criticism regarding her appearance and weight after entering the Bollywood film industry.

In a recent interview, she disclosed that when she started her acting career, she was considered overweight and didn’t fit the typical heroine mold.

Before becoming part of Bollywood, she was comfortable with her self-image, but that changed once she began acting.

Alia noted that during the initial phase of her career, she faced intense scrutiny about her weight and looks. Despite losing weight, she continues to be cautious and works diligently to maintain her figure.

Although her friends encourage her to relax and enjoy life without strict dieting, she feels the pressure to align with the industry’s standards.

Alia has demonstrated her acting talent in several hit films, including “Gangubai Kathiawadi” and “Highway,” earning recognition and awards for her remarkable performances.
