Alia Bhatt Featured in Time’s 100 Most Influential People List of 2024

Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has been featured in Time Magazine’s list of 100 most influential people of 2024. 

British writer and filmmaker Tom Harper praised the actress for her dedication and hard work towards the art. 

Alia had collaborated with Tom Harper for the film ‘Heart of Stone’ which marked her debut in Hollywood. 

Praising the actress’ work Harper wrote, “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.”

“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.”

The Heart of Stone Director also described Alia on TIME Magazine as a businesswoman and philanthropist who leads with integrity. 

Alia seemed ecstatic about the good news! She took to her IG profile and expressed her joy, “Honoured to be a part of the #TIME100 @time 🫶

Thank you dearest #TomHarper for your kind kind words 💫♥️✨☀️”
