Career choices

Variety is the spice of her life

Trade talk
We also spoke to trade analyst Komal Nahta to get an idea of what trade thinks of Alia’s talent. Komal too feels that Alia is best among her contemporaries and according to him these are the qualities which sets her apart , “Two things sets Alia apart from her contemporaries, one she is a fantastic actress and secondly her choice of script is phenomenal. Alia has moved far ahead of her contemporaries. Shraddha is also good, but Alia has come in a different league altogether. She has more success than Shraddha like Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Dear Zindagi, Udta Punjab, Kapoor & Sons except for Shaandaar every film of her is a hit and in every film she had a very meaty role, she is not an ornamental heroine, she has got real terrific and variety of roles. Definitely she is class apart”. Well BollywoodLifers do you agree with us that Alia is the best actress right now compared to other young actresses in B-town. Post your comments in the below section.
