Alia Bhatt is only 23 years old and has already achieved wonderful things in life. She is beautiful, classy, sassy and adorable all at the same time!

Alia like many of us is a huge SRK fan and when she finally got a chance to work with him, she was elated.

Alia was offered Dear Zindagi by Gauri Shinde who has been widely acclaimed for her movie English Vinglish. Karan Johar introduced Alia to Gauri Shinde and when she came to know that SRK was on board too, she was delighted!

“I knew they were in talks with Shah Rukh. So obviously, I was very excited about that too. And then when he came on board, my happiness knew no bounds.”

 

Alia recalls the first time she was called by KJo who asked her to drop by at Shah Rukh Khan’s house to discuss the script. She was at the gym at that time and said ‘No’. She narrates the incident,

I was just out of my gym and Karan called to ask if I could drop by at Shah Rukh’s house; he and Gauri were already sitting there. I first said ‘No, I can’t come’, and then I explained to him that ‘My hair was all wet’. Suddenly I heard SRK ‘s voice in the background saying, “Even my hair is all wet’ (laughs). It was such a cool experience.

 

Alia also says that whenever SRK was on set, things were lighter and happier. She says that King Khan is very humble and noble at heart.

“he treats everyone equally- from an actor to a technician to a light-boy, and all that helps to create such a light and happy atmosphere.”

 

Alia Bhatt is very good at remembering lines. SRK had long dialogues in the movie and Alia would end up knowing all his lines by heart. SRK used to call Alia his ‘line monitor’!

Shah Rukh used to call me his Line Monitor. He has a lot of dialogues in the film aur mujhe unki lines yaad ho jaati thi. So if he stopped somewhere and I didn’t remember his lines, he used to say ‘Kya hua bhai mere Line Monitor Ko?’ There were quite a few funny incidents that happened while we shot together.

 

Alia Bhatt and SRK share great chemistry on screen from what we can see in the trailers. As adorable as they look together, it would be quite something to see them on the big screen.
