Mumbai: Alia Bhatt has no qualms accepting publicly that she looks up to her seniors in the industry. The 22-year-old stated that she takes to Kareena Kapoor’s filmi antics and more recently for her film 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania', was inspired by Kajol’s on-screen persona.
But Alia is taking the inspiration to another level in HSKD, by doing a small dance sequence in the song Lucky Tu, using a chair as a prop — much like Bollywood divas Madhuri Dixit, Raveena Tandon and Katrina Kaif.
“While it is inspired by Katrina Kaif’s Kamli number in Dhoom 3, it is also a tribute to all the women who’ve done similar sequences and acrobatic moves in the past. She was ecstatic at the prospect of doing this number and had put in long hours of practice to get the act right. Alia has taken Katrina’s impeccable moves in Kamli to the next level in the song,” says her HSKD co-star Varun Dhawan.
Talking about Alia’s recent Internet memes Varun says, “I give her full marks for having the ability to laugh it off. A celebrity has to rise above criticism. Actors my age are just learning to be immune to controversies but Alia has already mastered it.”
