Alia Bhatt will be seen next in Karan Johar's Takht, Ayan Mukherji's Brahmastra and SS Rajamouli's RRR.

"I feel it is not easy to stay positive but I just want to share love and happiness in the world. So, for that reason, I prefer to be super positive, loving and warm, no matter how bad my day is. I try to spread only love and joy in the world.

I feel you shouldn't take yourself too seriously. The only constant thing in life is change and I really believe that", she said while interacting with the media at Vogue Beauty Awards 2019 on Wednesday in Mumbai.

"I would like to congratulate him for receiving this honour. I worked with him in Brahmastra recently, and it was an absolute pleasure working with him. He a legend in every way and despite that a very down-to-earth and humble person, so there is so much to learn from him. I wish him all the best," said Alia Bhatt.

Sharing her thoughts on the development, Gully Boy heroine Alia Bhatt said, "I am thankful to all those responsible for choosing 'Gully Boy' as the official film to represent India at the Oscars. I hope it gets nominated and I hope it also wins the award. There are lots of hopes.

I feel 'Gully Boy' has had a long life even after release in India. It was screened at Indian Film Festival of Melbourne and it won an award there. It was also released in Japan and now this has happened. So, the whole team is ecstatic."
