How Much Educated Is Alia Bhatt?

Bhatt was educated at the Jamnabai Narsee School but dropped out from her 12th to pursue a career in acting.

Describing her childhood, Bhatt has said, “I had a rather grounded and modest upbringing. I didn’t get the pleasures that people assume I would’ve got because I am Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter.”

Growing up, she did not share a close bond with her father; Razdan has said that she raised her children mostly as a single parent as her husband did not take much interest in their lives.

Bhatt aspired to be an actress from a young age, and has said that she first realised it while rehearsing for the school choir in kindergarten.

She soon began dance lessons at Shiamak Davar’s institute. Her first acting role was at age five in her father’s production venture Sangharsh (1999), in which she briefly played the younger version of Preity Zinta’s character.

Talking about her experience, Bhatt later said, “I don’t remember much of the shoot. I would go to the sets only for the food”.
