The Highway star, Alia Bhatt entered Bollywood after auditioning for Karan Johar’s Student of the Year. Her charming personality and innocent looks won KJo's heart and the starlet has since been on the highway to success.
Alia spent her later teenage years in front of the camera and Bollywood has seen her blossom from a simple girl to a raging beauty. However, this was not easy, the young girl with big ambitions started with Karan's Student of The Year and ultimately bagged several roles soon after.
She not only had to work on her acting skills but she had to shed pounds to get the role, and Alia did just that for three rigorous months. You can easily see the transformation below:
