Alia Bhatt photographed at an event in Mumbai.
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt said that the fear of failure makes her work harder.
"Fear of failure is a constant thought and I can't say that I never think about it. Probably I always think about it, that's why I feel like I will always work harder," Alia told IANS in a telephonic interview.
Nevertheless, the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan also believes that "living on the fear of future makes you miss out on the beauty of the present".
"So more than fearing it, I am just aware that this is what it is right now. But there is something called change which is the only constant and things will keep changing. I have to keep adapting, but nonetheless, I have to always work hard and never fail," said Alia.
"I can't forget the fact that hard work, dedication, respect of your fellow co-workers and the people that you interact with and, of course, the warmth and love that you give them, is most important. And that is something that I will make sure of following throughout my life," added Alia.
Alia made her debut in Bollywood with the 2012 film
Student Of The Year which was directed by Karan Johar.
The 22-year old actress will soon be seen in Vikas Bahl's
Shaandaar co-starring Shahid Kapoor.
Shaandaar is scheduled to release on October 22.
"I feel like
Shaandaar is one step into a mad world which I have never been a part of. What set this film apart is the quirky, mad kind of space, which I really like. It has a quirky, interesting and a beautiful looking vibe to it, but at the same time the emotions are real," said Alia.
Alia has sung a song in
Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, in which she featured along with Varun Dhawan.
When Alia was asked when she is going to sing next, she said: "It will happen probably in my films only. I think I will stick to singing for my films only for now."
Alia also loves connecting with her fans. She wore a 'doodle' dress at an event while promoting
Shaandaar, which featured poems and messages sent by her fans. The actress said that her fans make her feel special.(Also Read:
