For instance, unlike most girls who from film families , she did not go for her audition , with a recommendation from her father or mother. “I was surprised when I was told by my assistants that Alia was in my office for her auditioning for Student of the Year and she had come alone and was in her school uniform. Neither Bhatt Sahab nor Soni had an inkling. I told her she was too young and she should lose at least twenty kilos and come back in six months. She came back after six months looking slim and stunning. All through the making of the film she came to the shootings alone and took care of herself and managed her make up costumes etc with no mummy by her side”, says Karan Johar. For Karan Johar, Alia’s dad Mahesh Bhatt is a guru as Karan’s first apprenticeship as an assistant director was under Mahesh Bhatt for the film Gumraah produced by his father Yash Johar. Yet, it was Alia who took the initiative all by herself without involving her parents to take her plunge in showbusiness.
