Alia Bhatt Receives Award At Saudi Arabia Event, Says 'I'm Obsessed With Movies, It's All I Know'

Alia Bhatt is surely one of the most talented and versatile actors in Bollywood. She has created a niche for herself through remarkable performances. Last year, the actress was awarded a national award for her film Gangubai Kathiawadi. And now recently she was once again honoured with an award at a Saudi Arabia event. The video from the event has gone viral on social media.

Alia, who opted for a red and blue colour saree, was seen talking about her love for movies. Accepting the award, she said as mentioned in Hindustan Times, “It’s a privilege to be here in this nation, the nation that is currently doing so much to unite us all and bring us all under one roof in the name of cinema. It doesn’t happen very often where countless talents from the West, and East come together under one roof and celebrate each other. So thank you for making this happen.”

“It’s truly an extraordinary night. I’m obsessed with movies, it’s all I know. I’ve said this before, I think when I was born, I came out on ‘Lights, camera, action’. That’s how much cinema means to me. One of the things, if we are talking about joy, one of the greatest things in our lives is love. So tonight when I go back home, I take back with me the love of the movies and the love that I felt here in Riyadh. So thank you so much, and here’s to the magic of movies,” she added.

For the event, Alia wore a red and blue colour saree which has golden work. She looks stunning as she keeps her makeup minimalistic. The video was shared by fan page Planetaliabhatt. Alia Bhatt was spotted at the Mumbai airport.

On the work front, Alia will be next seen in Jigra. Alia announced the film with a video and wrote, “Presenting #Jigra, directed by the extremely talented @vasanbala and produced by @dharmamovies & @eternalsunshineproduction. From debuting in a Dharma production to now producing a film with them, in many ways, it feels like coming full circle from where I started. Every day is a different day… exciting, challenging (and a little scary)… not just as an actor but also as a producer as we bring this film to life, and I CANNOT wait to share more as we move forward.”

Jigra helmed by Vasan Bala and is scheduled to premiere in theaters on September 27, 2024.
