Mumbai/IBNS: In another feather in her hat, Bollywoods leading actress Alia Bhatt has featured in the list of TIME Magazines 100 Most Influential People of 2024.
For Alia, a note has been written by her Hollywood debut film Heart of Stone director Tom Harper in the magazine.
On her work, Tom said, There is a grace to the way she goes about her work: focused, open to ideas, and willing to take creative risks. One of my favorite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it.
Alias superpower is her ability to mix movie-star magnetism with authenticity and sensitivity. As an actor she is luminous, and as a person she brings the grounded assurance and creativity that make a truly international star, he added.
