Ranbir gets wowed by my... | Alia Bhatt - Actor, Mother, Entrepreneur | Karishma Mehta | Ep 26 | HOB

Alia Bhatt needs no introduction. She has acted in more than 20 movies and is now a successful producer, entrepreneur, and more importantly, a mother! She takes us down memory lane by talking about her childhood, her school days, and what inspired her all these years.
She explains her thought process behind a film, how and with what intent she started her brand, and how she keeps a balance between her work schedule and personal life. For her, just like movies or any other business, life has its own ups and downs. You just need to learn from your experiences and move on. She asks us to be real in this reel world. In her own words, Alia says, “If you want to be cool, leave social media and pick up a book.”
“How The Hell Did I Do It?” is a Humans of Bombay Original - a talk show where we speak with the dreamers, the pioneers, the go-getters and the never-say-no’ers from all walks of life. We discuss their journeys - the highs, the lows and everything in between. And through our candid conversations, we try to decode the human behind the name, and get pretty close to figuring out - How The Hell Did They Do It?

[@karishmamehta3337]

Birthday special ❤

[@humansofbombay2801]

Yes! ❤❤❤

[@rensee2825]

"Limitation only begins in your mind, so don't go into it thinking that you won't be able to do it .. Even if you are unable to do it , that's fine ....but don't think you won't be able to do it " I am so inspired by her ❤❤

[@nadiashalin7057]

The whole episode is largely focused on her professional and entrepreneurial journey and yet the title and thumbnail is focused on her husband…just disappointing

[@amritapuri2964]

Yeah because some people are just obsessed to throw mud over her choice of Ranbir.

[@catherineruth9542]

Seriously it's a shame that they had to have his name in the thumbnail. They could have done it without it 🙄 not that i don't like Rabir but the point is when the whole interview was so wholesome about Alia why they had to use this thumbnail 🫤

[@disneychannelstars3583]

She was 17 when she played Shanaya and now she is 30 and a mom too❤..we all have witnessed her grow as an actor ,and as a woman …she is great at her work and she is the only actor with whom all producers want to work because of her versatility she has achieved everything at such young but still she is humble ,bubbly and cute ❤

[@arfaa584]

Do you really believe she was 17? 😂😂

[@SA-ft4gu]

She was 19/20 when she played shanaya becaus it's been 10nyear since student of the year 1

[@itiagarwal3444]

​@@SA-ft4gu she shot the movie when she was 17

[@nehapattanayak5864]

No when she was 18 she shoot In One of her interview she said

[@dhruvrajr.bhavsar7615]

Alia Bhatt has changed a lot after becoming a mother... positively ofcourse. Stay blessed

[@ifediran.]

This was such a wholesome interview. I'm happy that the interview focused on Alia as a person and a woman and wasn't gossip driven. It was grounded and gave us the opportunity to see Alia for the woman that she is... constantly evolving. I'm so proud of her

[@humansofbombay2801]

❤️❤️❤️

[@sukumarichakma38]

Its so nice to see that people are not posting too many negative comments on an Alia Bhatt video. It always hurts me to see people always hating her for absolutely no good reason. I think Alia is an extremely strong person; she has been bashed, humiliated, shamed by the public time and time again, and I love how she has always tried to overcome it by remaining a positive person and by giving back love instead of hate. I hope the internet does not win and hope she will always remain this way. Happy Birthday, Alia! ❤️

[@kartikg9664]

These days you see hate comments on every video regarding bollywood. It's a campaign. Don't know when this is gonna stop.

[@archanakumaridasgupta5536]

Sweet, that one.❤

[@sadiaali9856]

Ikr. She is truly a ball of positivity and light energy thru and thru movies and public life. And i am not saying it like that

[@dparamful]

Her mother and she are British Muslims who seem to make money in India as movie stars but deeply disrespect this country. Her father has a very shady life with his many lecherous photos with young girls. One was a Pakistani girl who was found dead. Her brother was involved in the 1993 Bombay blasts. Her father is half Hindu and hates that side of his ancestry. Seedy shady ungrateful family. Deeply connected to Dawood Ibrahim.

[@vanessaparbhu6607]

She has changed and become mature and natural

[@SimV239]

No matter what people say, she’s one of the best actors from the younger generations we have today in Bollywood. She’s a versatile actor & she seems to have it all together. She’s also very smart & articulate. She has detailed knowledge of her work, be it films or business.. she is just amazing!

[@Explorer402]

@A Then why you are here to watch her interview ?

[@cinemalovers-bm7lo]

The thing about Alia that is so special is that she speaks with passion and has become so calm in interviews over the years. That calmness and passion is also seen in her performances - more recently Gangubai and Darlings which have been fantastic and the way she carries herself off screen. Loved this interview !! PS: Also, Happy Birthday Alia !

[@humansofbombay2801]

❤❤❤

[@ifediran.]

Me too. This made me so happy

[@meneha26]

Just wow!!! I was 12 then when I saw Alia as shanaya.. Today I am 22 and throughout this entire interview I was just constantly thinking so many things has changed.. Our little Shanaya have grown so much by all means especially by thoughts It's just feel so special watching your childhood actress...it's like a part of me has also grown..she has been transformed into a beautiful woman from a little girl💗

[@theinsanegirl4372]

When she said " if you want to be cool, be obsessed with the sky often staring to the sky and giving a smile i.e. being obsessed with the nature makes you cool" it resonates with me so much it's like she is kind of a way that the universe is acknowledging to me that I'm on the right path where I really found myself less bothered by the outer world and completely detached from the social media and focused on the inner world Wow I just felt those words ...

[@akankshasharma9351]

❤

[@mkrzg7547]

U deconstructed it in a great way because u're cultured and well educated and I guess we'll read also but I bet she can't think of half of what u said coz she has weak education and all her life is an act , not her fault that's what celzb life is mainly about , a persona , that's why some famous people dread social media like her husband for example who is still resisting social media coz he knows the pit fall it is for him as an artist

[@kaykay319]

People were very harsh on her during her earlier days without realizing she was so young then and entering an industry like this when you're 18, mistakes and realizations are part of the game. Look at her now..how fierce and wise she has become her growth as an actor and as a human never stops amazing and inspiring me.

[@Besties591]

It’s easy for someone like her to create a perception of being this super human through paid media sources and marketing. In today’s times the celebrities are all about building a brand through creating a perception of themselves as this idealistic individual. In reality they’re not positively influencing the society in anyway, but present themselves as role models. Young generation of today are falling for this gimmick. I hope they find real role models in the society to look up to. Alia Bhatt is a privileged person she has whole team working on her everyday to project a certain persona, there is nothing to learn from her or her life. My opinion !!

[@Arooba-pf9if]

Glad that someone realised the fact.

[@cscjp]

True..

[@kritika.717]

Totally agree brother 🙌

[@Treem8888]

So true. People don’t realise that at all. Indians are too gullible. They follow celebs blindly

[@arfaa584]

Yes you are right. But she is good as an actress/celebrity.

[@sai6275]

She deserves all the a accolades & more. She is not just like any actor. She has more substance & understands her craft with so much clarity. Eloquent speaker too 👌👌👌 so much clarity in her thoughts

[@conversationswithboluwatife]

I can't believe how blessed this interview has made me feel, I mean so so blessed, I as a young business woman trying to make it here in Nigeria, i now have a lot more to think about and also be calm about thank you so much mama Raha such an all round intelligent and beautiful woman, Alia Bhatt never cease to amaze me and I'm sure so many of us feel the same just listen to her speak so so soothing 🥺 I'm so proud of her and i feel so blessed to be in the same generation as her also thank you to the interviewer 🤗❤️ ..... Y'all remember being obsessed with social media is NOT cool at all if you want to be cool stare at the sky for a change ....omg how I love that statement I also loved hearing her say my husband 😫I screamed 😭😂🤗❤️ thank you thank you thank you I have been blessed with this interview 🙏🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

[@jenniferann.]

Student Shanaya ( baby Alia ) to mama Alia, she's come a long way and we've seen it through. Grateful to be a part of her life as her audience. Showering all the love. May you shine always. Happy birthday Al:) Dear HOB thankyou for sharing these beautiful Stories. You never stop surprising and bring that smile on our face!

[@angie_tweleven]

More power to you Alia! I wish the channel had highlighted just Alia on its thumbnail. She's more than having to take Ranbir's name ironically which is what the whole video proved to be.

[@AnnaFernandes48]

This girl 👧 has turned out amazing

[@stylesswifey]

I love how she has grown up so maturely,the way she talks is so intellectual & clamming, She's indeed the best actress ever born, pretty good entrepreneur,producer, responsible daughter, sister,wife and now a mom💛

[@ifediran.]

I agree

Limitation begins from your mind - what an interaction.....

[@kirandevi-tx8en]

Jab Alia shanti se interview deti hai bina loud hue tab bahut acha lagta hai sunne me,her voice is so sweet 😍

[@rayayayayayy]

No matter what people say She is one of the finest actor in the Bollywood right now. still remember Shanaya in soty. & Cut to this day she is one of the biggest superstar in Bollywood.

[@pmsmymedia]

Aliya is so real all her talk is by heart.. Ranbir is very lucky to be better half of beautiful soul..

[@rakshikaaphale3824]

What a horrible clickbait-y title! I just do not understand why people limit Alia to Ranbir! This interview is so incredible, she is so well spoken and articulate and seems so confident in her skin. Clearly, she has put in a lot of hard work to be where she is. Please do not diminish the value of this interview by titling it around RANBIR because ALIA is so much more than just being his wife!

[@binduninawe6128]

One of the best interviews of Alia....yes she has grown, learnt from her experiences of life and not from books....which is refreshing and motivating. All the best to you Alia👍

[@amrutakulkarni4635]

Why i am.not see her happy from heart after she getting married That happyness has gone

[@DarkPsychologyofLove]

I can listen to Alia whole day! She is growing so beautifully and what inspiration she has become from being called a dimwit!

[@parth3337]

Best interviewer ever i have ever seen Want to meet Karishma one day!!❤❤

[@Sai.Janorkar]

ALIA BHATT the beauty diva, i just gotta say one thing about her that she is very proud to be a mom and also to be a supportive partner to ranbir. She has done a fantabulous job in the bollywood career and she deserves all the warm wishes and love from us ,as of her dedicated hardwork that she has put in. Moreover I cannot believe she is already 30 years old , best wishes for her upcoming journey and wishing her long life of happiness , a big happpyyy birthdayy to the QUEEN itself🥰❤ loveeee you aliaaa bhatttt💕

[@mamlu5]

She is awesome...She is just happy doing her thing..when so many people tried pulling her down

[@tania.21]

Lovely interview! Not sure why the title is around Ranbir tho? Had nothing to do with him 🤔

[@musenerobrendah9760]

Agree

[@shivvvvvvvvv]

I enjoyed watching this interview. Over the years a sense of calm and composure is there while she articulate her thoughts Yes a lot of people can say or say that she was given everything at her lap, but she made the best out of it is the quality I admire.! 😊

[@riyakheskwani1791]

Truly an inspiration!! It was such a delight watching two strong and ambitious women. Thank you 😇

[@drms1767]

She has her whole entourage , also she kind of looks tired and mechanical, so be inspired thats fine but be realistic about real goals and only doing as much, not burdening yourself with trying to be her....she is a face of a brand which sells and had a whole company behind her to do the thinking planning and execution of everything except working on movies.

[@TeamZeekay]

The comments section passed the vibe test! Kudos to all the positive people out here! ❤❤❤❤❤

She doesn’t have 24 nannies, that's bitter jealousy by you lol. And, she assumes that you’re bright enough to know that she has help and a team just like every other actress even if she does not spell it out in each press interaction. At least she’s not like that fake, plastic bag Aishwarya Rai who lies that she cooks feed wash clean iron bathe and everything else for her child or she's not like Mira Kapur who has never worked a day in her life but have 3 nannies for each kid and tons of house help and a team. At least Alia is an accomplished business woman and artist.
