Birthday Special! 4 reasons why Alia Bhatt is rather ‘genius’ than ‘stupid’

She knows how to laugh at herself

Soon after her GK mishap in 'Koffee With Karan,' Alia released a video in which she is seen mocking herself. She infact turned this negative publicity into a positive one and also had the guts to laugh at herself.

Taking smart career decisions

How much ever people think of Alia as petite and quite young to take any smart decisions, her choice of roles is proof enough of her intelligence. From 'Student Of The Year' to 'Highway', the actress has made sure to grab roles that showcases her prowess as an actor.

Versatility makes her different

Apart from being a wonderful actress, Alia is also an amazing singer. It is her versatility and trying to experiment in various fields, is what makes her different from anyone else.

She is jealous and admits it

Alia, in an interview has admitted that she gets jealous of other actresses, which is something that needs a lot of guts. And our Alia ofcourse is too cool to lie or hide stuff. Here is what she said. "I don’t get bogged down by competition. But I get jealous of other actresses when I see they have a better body than me. Not in a negative way though. When I see them, I realize I’m not doing well enough and it pushes me to work harder. Jealousy is important for a person to move ahead in life. It keeps you on your toes and helps you realize that you’re not the be-all and end-all of everything. Currently, many actresses are better lookers and performers than I am. And that motivates me to work harder."
