Alia Bhatt, the renowned actress who garnered attention with her debut at the Met Gala earlier this month, discussed her pre-event emotions in a recent interview. Alia mentioned that she was cautious about avoiding any mishaps like falling on the red carpet. While acknowledging the significance and grandeur of the occasion, she also expressed her desire for it to be an enjoyable experience.
At the prestigious Met Gala, Alia Bhatt made a stunning appearance on the red carpet in a captivating white gown crafted by the renowned fashion designer Prabal Gurung. Complementing her attire, she accessorized with embellished gloves, as well as elegant diamond earrings and rings.
Discussing her experience, Alia expressed, “While attending the event, I had the inner child in me making sure I maintained my balance on the red carpet and had enough time to strike poses, take a breath, and truly enjoy the moment. It was important for me not to put too much pressure on myself and approach it with a sense of fun and lightness. Although it was a significant and monumental occasion, my focus was on radiating joy and happiness from within. I can confidently say that I had a wonderful time.”
Talking about if she has a ‘magic mantra’, she said, “I don’t know if anybody can give their secret away even if they had it. In my case, however, there’s genuinely no secret. I have a very chaotic mind. I like doing many things at once. So, you can say that it’s in my nature that I’m driven to donning many hats or at least trying to don many hats. I don’t even know if I’m doing it well or successfully or badly. I just do it because it makes me happy. It keeps me fulfilled.”
After the Met Gala event, Alia shared a string of pictures of her outfit on Instagram. A part of her caption read, “I wanted to do something that felt authentic (hello, pearls!) and proudly made in India. The embroidery, made with a 100,000 pearls is a labour of love by @prabalgurung. I’m so proud to wear you for my first Met. A girl can never have too many pearls… and the right accessories to complement the look which in our case translated to the bow of pearls on my hair. Oh, and it’s white, for my Choup-ED”.
Alia was last seen in Brahmastra -Part 1: Shiva opposite Ranbir Kapoor. Helmed by Ayan Mukerji, the film also starred Amitabh Bachchan and Mouni Roy in lead roles. She will make her Hollywood debut alongside Gal Gadot in the upcoming action-thriller Heart of Stone which will premiere on Netflix.

Apart from that, she also has Farhan Akhtar’s next directorial Jee Le Zaraa alongside Katrina Kaif and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the pipeline.
