Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has made it to the list of TIME 100 most influential people of 2024. Sharing the news, the ‘Raazi’ actress said: “Honoured to be a part of the #TIME100 @time

Thank you dearest #TomHarper for your kind kind words”

Alia Bhatt made her Hollywood debut last year opposite Gal Gadot in ‘Heart of Stone.’ She thanked the director of ‘Heart of Stone’, Tom Harper, for his lovely words. He has called Alia a ‘formidable talent’.

Her fans have been celebrating this achievement of the actress, who also won the National Award for Best Actress for her role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Gangubai Kathiawad.’

Tom Harper wrote to the magazine in the interview that “Alia Bhatt is a formidable talent. She is not only one of the world’s leading actors, admired for her work in the Indian film industry for over a decade, but she is also a businesswoman and a philanthropist who leads with integrity.” Alia Bhatt shared it in her post.

Showering praise on the actress, Tom Harper further said: "I met Alia on 'Heart of Stone', her English-language film debut. Despite her fame, on set, she is self-effacing and funny. There is a grace to the way she goes about her work: focused, open to ideas, and willing to take creative risks. One of my favourite moments in the film came from an improvisation at the end of a take where she took the emotional thread and ran with it."

The director said, "Alia is a truly international star." "Alia’s superpower is her ability to mix movie-star magnetism with authenticity and sensitivity. As an actor, she is luminous, and as a person, she brings the grounded assurance and creativity that make a truly international star."
