Since Karan Johar launched Alia Bhatt in the industry, there have been a lot of people have been commenting about how similar Alia Bhatt looks to the 'Jab We Met' actress Kareena Kapoor Khan.
When asked the 'Shandaar' actress about the same, Alia during a recent interaction said, "I was called baby Kareena for some reason, but I never thought there were any similarities between us."
Talking about it further, Alia explained, "I have worked with Shahid Kapoor very closely on two films now and he is someone who has spent a lot of time with her. He said that there are no similarities. Maybe because of the few words we constantly say like 'lurking', 'biggish', people draw the parallel from there."
Though Alia and Kareena have only acted in one movie together, they have often been spotted together at B-town parties. On the work front, Alia Bhatt, who was currently on a break, will soon begin the shoot for Meghna Gulzar's 'Raazi'.
Based on Harinder Sikka's novel Calling Sehmat', when asked Alia if she had read the book, she said, "I had not read the book when Meghna came to me about a year-and-a-half ago. There was just a basic one-line story idea. I told her that this is something that I would love to do. Usually, we green light a script, but in my head, I had agreed to do Raazi even without the script. It’s a true story, and when I heard the turn of events, I had goosebumps. I couldn’t believe it. Then, they came back to me and I read the first 20 pages of the story and I knew that if I want to do that one film a year that challenges me, this is that film. Actors want to do that one big Hindi film every year, but I want to do that one film that will completely challenge me and turn everything upside down. It happened with 'Highway', 'Udta Punjab', 'Dear Zindagi' and now with 'Raazi'. I am so scared and nervous to go on this journey, because of the kind of intensity of this character."
