She went on to establish herself with starring roles in several films produced by Johar’s studio Dharma Productions, including the romances 2 States (2014), Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014), and Badrinath Ki Dulhania (2017); and the coming-of-age drama Dear Zindagi (2016).

Alia Bhatt has also committed to featuring alongside an ensemble cast in Takht, a historical drama directed by Karan Johar.

She is also slated to make her production debut with Darlings, which will mark the directorial debut of screenwriter Jasmeet K. Reen and will mark her reunion with Dear Zindagi producer Gauri Khan while starring her in the lead alongside Shefali Shah.

Controversies

The death of Sushant Singh Rajput sparked a debate on nepotism in the Hindi film industry; his fans blamed Alia Bhatt for being one of the beneficiaries of nepotism and for once speaking dismissively of Rajput on Johar’s chat show Koffee with Karan.

This led to negative voting on the film’s trailer on YouTube, on which it became the second most disliked video. The film received negative reviews, and Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India dismissed Bhatt’s performance “by her own high standards” to be “strictly average”.
