Alia Bhatt’s transformation since 'Student of the Year' audition

Her charming personality and innocent looks won her the SOTY role and the starlet has since been on her way to success

The Highway star, Alia Bhatt entered Bollywood after auditioning for Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. Her charming personality and innocent looks won KJo's heart and the starlet has since been on the highway to success.

Alia spent her later teenage years in front of the camera and Bollywood has seen her blossom from a simple girl to a raging beauty. However, this was not easy, the young girl with big ambitions started with Karan's Student of The Year and ultimately bagged several roles soon after.

She not only had to work on her acting skills but she had to shed pounds to get the role, and Alia did just that for three rigorous months. You can easily see the transformation below:

KJo knew that the Indian audience would connect with her and immediately offered her the role only if she committed to the film and lost weight, and she did not disappoint. The filmmaker was amazed by her transformation and couldn’t believe it was the same girl who he had auditioned three months earlier.
