But that doesn't mean she's dumb.
You can be smart, focused, ambitious, and skillful...but still be a blind puppy in love. Those things aren't mutually exclusive. I think what brings the "poor Alia" sentiment is not that she's unaware of what RK is, but that she is unaware of her own self worth. She has everything she's wanted, but willingly chose a guy who treats her like dirt because she is too infatuated to see past the toxicity and realize her own value.
My prediction is that she's going to be like the Kajols and Twinkles of Bollywood....when she could've been the DPs, Kareenas, Kats, Anushkas, Sonams of Bollywood.
