Alia Bhatt has steadily delivered a series of remarkable performances throughout the past ten years. Frequently cited in discussions surrounding nepotism, she has repeatedly demonstrated her talent as an actress. As we celebrate her 32nd birthday, let us reflect on some of her lesser-known yet noteworthy performances.

2 States

Alia Bhatt embodied the essence of 2 States, portraying Ananya Swaminathan, a student hailing from a traditional Tamil Brahmin family in Chennai. She adeptly navigates the film's emotional moments, infusing it with a vibrant energy. When she arrives at the temple in bridal attire and comes to the realization that her dream is about to be fulfilled, her tears become an undeniable expression of joy. This performance is marked by its exquisite subtlety.

Badrinath Ki Dulhania

As Vaidehi Trivedi, Alia is the best part of Badrinath Ki Dulhania. A woman who is determined to make a good life for herself despite the conservative men surrounding her orbit, the actor makes the most of her scenes. The film gets a little too predictable during the second half, but Alia's performance is more than able to rescue it together.

Dear Zindagi

In hindsight, Gauri Zindagi's film has not stood the test of time, particularly due to its clichéd portrayal of therapy and a narrow perspective on the appearance of therapists. However, there is no question regarding Alia Bhatt's exceptional performance. In one of her lesser-known roles, she embodies Kaira, a sensitive and anxious young woman in her twenties, with remarkable depth and compassion. We empathize with her struggles, share in her laughter, and support her throughout her journey.

Shaandaar

Numerous misaligned priorities nearly compromised Shaandaar, Vikas Bahl's vision of a destination wedding. Alia Arora, the actress, found herself with limited material to explore, given that her character faced a multitude of personal challenges. Nevertheless, she successfully brings a sense of warmth and sensitivity to the role, managing to elicit moments of spontaneity within an otherwise contrived storyline.

Kapoor & Sons

Shakun Batra's film remains remarkably impactful even after several years, with Alia delivering an outstanding performance in a supporting role. For the first half of the film, her character Tia embodies a joyful, carefree spirit, providing a sense of fun and appearing to be merely a lighthearted distraction from the turmoil affecting the main characters' family. However, Shakun provides Alia with a pivotal scene in the latter half, which she fully capitalizes on. This performance stands out as one of her finest, often overshadowed by her leading roles.
