Recently, the actress opened up about her film choices and her pairing with Salman Khan in Inshallah to Bollywood Hungama. She had a lot to talk about as she shared her excitement for the project. The actress said, “I literally remember myself jumping. I was not in town, I was out of the country and I was doing something and I got a call and I was like.. literally I ran to the corner and I jumped up and down for 5 minutes because I was so excited.” She added that the film’s shoot begins next week.

Ever since their fresh pairing was announced, they have received a lot of backlash from netizens for the vast age difference, but it has not affected Alia’s excitement towards working with Salman Khan. “I didn’t get any criticism. I think I got a lot of excitement. I think speculation is also a form of excitement in a way and why shouldn’t there be speculation. There should be and at least I am not bothered by that and I don’t think Salman or Bhansali sir are bothered. I think this is a filmmaker who has given us very good films, he is someone who we all are very fond of and I think we should just trust him with his vision,” said the Kalank actress.
Revealing details about her lined up films, the actress spoke about the ongoing schedule of Sadak 2 and how Brahmastra is also almost over.

So next year actually is gonna be super super super special and I really hope it goes well.” The actress is thrilled that she is working with some amazing people from Bollywood and is aiming to work hard for it.
