However, with spectacular film choices like Highway, Raazi, Udta Punjab and most recently Gangubai Kathiawadi and Darlings, the actress has come a long way. Let's take a look at Alia Bhatt's transformation as an actress here:

For the Karan Johar film, the Bollywood newbie sported Manish Malhotra's glittery lehenga and started multiple fashion trends.

    Udta Punjab: Three years into the industry, Alia decided to experiment and went de-glam for her role in Udta Punjab. She tanned her skin and took dialect training for her role as a girl from a small town in Bihar. The role was much appreciated and so was her song, 'Ik Kudi'.
