Alia Bhatt is smart, sure, steadfast, focussed but at the same time she is peppy, chirpy and GIVES us total #WokeGirlGoals with her work and persona: on and off screen. She is the current hot property in Bollywood and every film she touches (except for Shaandaar) turns into gold at the box office. On her 25^th birthday, she deserves all the praise and adulation from the industry. Alia is not just a young, talented actor but a force to reckon with. Her movie choices, the way she carries herself off screen give us definitive idea of who she is and we love her for that. While she has an air of mystique around herself, there is something very real about her which instantly becomes a connecting point with her fans. Here is why we think that Alia leads by example and is inherently just another millennial girl who has made it big in Bollywood.

1. Does not take herself too seriously but is very serious about her work

Happy Birthday Alia Bhatt: 7 reasons why the Brahmastra star is every millennial’s BFF!

Alia Bhatt is a superstar and millions follow her on social media but she never takes this seriously. Off camera, you will find her chilling with her BFFs, going on trips, binging on all the unhealthy things we are warned not touch and of course being a total godmother to her three cats. Of course, she does not take herself seriously otherwise why would she make a video trolling her trollers with AIB titled Genius of The Year?

While she is a totes chilled out person, she gets into a total work mode while on sets. She is a method actor and totally focussed on the job at hand.

2. Is a reluctant fitness expert

The Udta Punjab actor is fitness conscious alright but does not bleed for it unlike her contemporaries. When Karan Johar discovered her, she was your pleasantly plump cute looking teenager. He still regrets that he made her lose weight and got her all conscious about it. Now, she gets gym lessons from her dost Katrina Kaif …she even scolded her on National Television for not doing her squats right. Isn’t she reminds us to well, us?

3. Is a social influencer

With more than 20 million fans on Instagram and 16 million followers on Twitter, she definitely is a social media influencer. Her fan base is girls belonging to under 25 age group because all her posts on her accounts are personal, well thought of but at the same time very intuitive and impulsive.

4. Gives cool girl hacks with her sartorial sense

Like Alia Bhatt, her style too is eclectic but not unachievable. Not so high on trends, she always manages to make an impact because she is your typical girl-next-door meet chic goddess who dons couture by the night but hangs out in loose tees by the day.

5.Her dating life is exactly like us

Okay so she had an on and off boyfriend, a string of ex-lovers and is in a state of perpetually finding her zen! Sounds familiar, no?

6. Is a doting mommy to her pets Pikka, Edward

Most of Alia’s pictures involve her cats Edward and Pikka and their shenanigans. She also occasionally babysits her elder sister Pooja Bhatt’s cat Sheeba and is an indulgent cat mommy or in her language, ‘Mother Of the Cat’. She is in general animal lover and often is seen volunteering for adoption camps. That’s how she got Edward. She adopted the kitten on her last birthday. Millennials who are done with commitments and relationships totally relate to this…now how does not like coming home to a furry, cute being who is forever ready to welcome you with open arms oops paws!

7. Despite her celeb status is a total goofball!

To conclude, she lives, breathes and revels in her own positive energy and is not afraid to show it to the world. She is not scared to show who she is and therefore is loved by her fans for all her quirks and cutesy antics. On this day, we thank Alia for existence and being a #GoofBall forever!
