Will be blown away if I get a National Award: Alia Bhatt.

Alis Bhatt: I will be blown away if I get it. It's
an honour to win a National Award. I don't
know if it's possible, but if it happens, of
course, I will be very glad.

She is on a winning spree at various award
galas for her impactful portrayal of a Bihari
migrant in Udta Punjab. And even though
she doesn't work for trophies, the young
and versatile Alia Bhatt says she will be
blown away if she gets a National Award.
Having won the Best Actress trophy at the
recently-held Filmfare Awards and Screen
Awards, Alia's deglamorized performance
as a victim of drug abuse in "Udta Punjab"
could be one of the frontrunners for the
Best Actress category at the upcoming 64th
National Film Awards.
"I will be blown away if I get it. It's an
honour to win a National Award. I don't
know if it's possible, but if it happens, of
course, I will be very glad," Alia told IANS.
However, Alia says she will not be
disappointed even if she doesn't get it.
"With awards, you are rewarded for just
your efforts. I don't think of it as the be-all
and end-all. I don't work for awards, but
the year that you get them, it's just that you
feel very grateful and you feel very glad that
your efforts have been recognised.
"There's nothing else to feel about it. You
shouldn't take it too seriously; and if you
don't get it, that doesn't mean that your
career is over," added the daughter of
veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and Soni
Razdan. Starting her career in the Hindi film
industry at a young age with the 2012 film
"Student of the Year", Alia, who turns 24 on
March 15, has carved out a niche for herself
in Bollywood in a short time span through
her roles in movies like "Highway", "2
States" and "Dear Zindagi".
"More than me, I want other people to say
whether it is the high point or low point in
my career. For me, these are just points that
I wanted to achieve... I started at a young
age. It's been five years now. But for me, I
don't understand what's younger or older. I
don't understand age," Alia said, adding
that she wants to "work like this even
when I am 40 or 50 or 80, if possible".
For her choice of roles, Alia says she follows
her instinct. "There is no thought process
while taking up new roles. You just go with
an instinct. I don't want to play the same
type of characters every time. I don't want
people to say that Alia only does these kinds
of films " which is why my choice of films
is very different, because I want to satisfy
my wants," Alia said.
She wants to try all genres. "I want to do
action, comedy, love story or a biopic " I
want to do everything. That's what I think
about while choosing a film. Each time, I
want to do different from what I did last,"
she said. Alia is currently busy promoting
her forthcoming entertainer "Badrinath Ki
Dulhania" and said that, like her previous
work, doing this film was also a challenge
for her.

shoot to Sonam Kapoor's plunging neckline:
What's that got to do with feminism?
"Every film that I pick up is a sort of
challenge for me. Badrinath Ki Dulhania'
was challenging because it is (set) in a
different place altogether. I am playing a girl
from Kota. She is a small-town girl and very
different from other characters that I have
played. "Through such films, you have to
make the audience smile and cry at the
same time " that itself is a challenge," she
said. The film is slated to release on March
10.

Cue to papa johar- it's time to buy one 😆

Sadly national awards are not given based on nepotism, unless you have your dad or mom on the jury or on an influential board in the centre, like in the case of Saif, who got both national award and Padmashri which he didn't deserve.

Yes, this forum will be blown away as well.

Hahahaha!! 😆 😆 Exactly what I was thinking too!! 😆 😆 This is hilarious!!

you are on the right track, just keep going. its just a matter of opportunity .

i don't know about any awards

From BW she certainly deserves it as she was way too good in UP. But NA has many other regions as well and can't say if she will win it or not.

^^Totally agree with this. She was excellent excellent in UP!! That's a performance to be always treasured. That gang-rape was terrible & it was on my mind even a week later.

Okay she was great in UP but please no! The National Award is a different ballgame altogether, and I feel it's way too soon for her to be bagging one.

Radhika Apte on the other hand was brilliant in Phobia, so I hope she gets it!
