Directed by ace filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali, the film gave us yet another look at her versatility as a performer. The actress called it her most challenging role. She explained, “I knew I had to play her completely from the heart, but I also had to play it from the frontfoot, because we were also trying to make it entertaining. Because we wanted her to reach a larger audience, and that is very hard.”

In Darlings, Alia as well as her co-stars Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma tackle the subject of domestic violence. While the concept is heavy, their approach is humorous with a dark side to it. Exciting and fresh! We wish Alia and her team all the best as we eagerly wait to see yet another magnificent performance.
