A colossal billboard in the heart of Madrid, Spain, is the latest spotlight for actor Alia Bhatt. Towering over the bustling streets, the advertisement, featuring Bhatt adorned in Gucci, is the new step for the actor upping her international game.

The image, shared on Reddit, X and Instagram, shows Bhatt in a blue shirt and sleek sunglasses.

"Nice photoshoot, best picture of Alia," expressed one fan. Gucci signed on Bhatt as their global brand ambassador in a move that has appealed to diverse audiences. Another user wrote, "It's a great move to connect to the Indian audience as she has a great fanbase in India."

However, questions lingered about the rationale behind her European spotlight. "I don't get it… does Alia Bhatt have a good audience base in Europe for her to feature on a billboard there?" queried one user.

Apart from her Gucci deal, Bhatt also starred in a Netflix film with Hollywood stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan, making appearances globally. Recently, she also hosted the inaugural Hope Gala for charity in London, aimed at raising funds for underprivileged adolescents in India through the Salaam Bombay Foundation.

Alia Bhatt is an acclaimed and multiple-award winning actor who last year received the National Award for Best Actor Female for her lead role in “Gangubai Kathiawadi”.
