Well I do believe Alia definitely had crush on Varun😆 it was pretty evident in her IV's. Varun never really reciprocated I mean whatever PDA they did was just for HSKD promotions atleast from his side but aloo used to get emotionally carried away. I don't have much idea about their current equation but most probably they are doing Dharma's next; Just look at this IV of hers which was given during 2States
I love Varun and know that he will always be there for me: Alia Bhatt

Who do you open up to emotionally?
I don't open up emotionally to anyone other than my sister and that also, not fully. I am a very private person. I don't talk to one person about everything as I don't want anybody to know me fully. I am just guarded as a person even with my friends, as I don't like being vulnerable as I have been in the past.
There were many nasty comments on you post SOTY. Did that hurt you?
Of course it did. Firstly, being a star kid you are not loved as they feel it is served easily to you. I didn't expect many accolades as an actor after SOTY, but I didn't even expect so much bashing and people saying, 'Why is she here? Tell her to go home and back to school.' It had been my dream all my life to be an actor and I had had a dream launch and yet there was so much negativity. But I took it in my stride. I was very depressed for a month and lost a lot of my confidence. I was feeling I would be just a one-film wonder. I kept it inside and did not share it even with my family. I wanted to prove to people that I was not here to just be a baby doll, but wanted to make a mark as an actor. I didn't want anyone to know about what I was going through, except I would talk to Varun and my director Abhishek Varman who became close to me. My father can smell me, but I can't come to a point of talking to him about it. Varun was there for me. He would be like a shield and would give me confidence. I would tell him, 'I think I am done. I don't think things will work out.' And he would say, 'Shut up.' And then, Imtiaz Ali happened and his confidence in me gave me confidence in myself. Highway has changed a lot for me.
Are you in a relationship with anyone at the moment?
No. I guess you can see the sadness on my face, right? My first boyfriend was in Class IX, but my only serious affair was when I was 19, post SOTY. I was in love with someone, but I won't confess with who. I have not had a boyfriend for the past year now.
You have been linked to both Varun and Arjun Kapoor. Who do you care for more between the two?
I love Varun. And he is much closer to me than Arjun, even though Arjun too is very close to me.
Let's talk about Varun?
I have known him past three years since SOTY and we became close during promotions. I have a feeling that I know him for a long time. He is very honest with me and I know he won't lie to me. What I love the most about him is that he will always be there for me. He is a very dedicated person and his priorities are correct. He is also always there for his friends and will not change at all and that credit goes to his upbringing. What I don't like about him is that he sometimes disappears on me. You disappear on the world, but not for me. It's not that I expect him to call me five times a day, but I am a very particular friend and am possessive about him.
About Arjun?
Arjun is much older to me, so earlier I thought he is this pseudo- intellectual quiet type, till I realised that he is actually fun. I met him the first time at Karan's 40th birthday bash. Initially, during 2 States we would not talk, but then we got on really well. Also, while I had started shooting for 2 States, I went away to shoot Highway and then came back...
