Mahesh Bhatt wants daughter Alia Bhatt to learn from this Hollywood actress

With back to back films strong in content and packed with originality, Alia Bhatt today is undoubtedly one of the most bankable actresses in the industry. She, in fact, is an example that a performer doesn’t have to limit himself or herself as just a commercial icon or just a niche actor. Rather, you can swiftly balance both.

Dad Mahesh Bhatt is certainly proud of his daughter, but feels that she yet has a long way to go. “There are no finishing points, life has no full stop, so Alia Bhatt also has no full stop. We must not cease to be generous to our children or to be too eager to say this is her finishing point. I don’t worry about people saying she has peaked too early; she’s peaked according to the limits of the skies that people have in their own minds. I think she’s just warming up,” he said, during a conversation with HT. (Also Read: On Father’s Day, here’s Alia Bhatt revealing about her true ‘heroine’, her father, Mahesh Bhatt)

He also believes, globally acclaimed actor Meryl Streep is the ideal person his daughter can look up to.

“How can this girl feel she has arrived? She has the audacity and the courage to demolish herself at the end of the day — even after receiving applause — when she sees a brilliant performance of an actor such as Meryl Streep. I keep telling her, ‘Alia, why don’t you watch all the movies of Meryl Streep? She is an amazing actor,” he said.

Dads are always right, Alia!  🙂
