Alia Bhatt: Rising Star of Bollywood and Business

Alia Bhatt is dominating 2023 with her achievements across the entertainment and business spheres. She recently clinched the National Award for her performance in “Gangubai Kathiawadi,” her Hollywood debut film “Heart of Stone” is a Netflix hit, her Bollywood release “Rocky aur Rani kii Prem Kahaani” has amassed over Rs 310 crore worldwide, and her kidswear brand, Ed-A-Mamma, is set to be acquired by Reliance Brands Pvt Ltd for Rs 300-350 crore.

At 30 years old, Alia’s net worth is reportedly soaring at around Rs 520 crore. Impressively, she has swiftly translated her entrepreneurial vision into reality in just a decade since her 2012 Bollywood debut. Her ventures include a production house, a clothing company, and investments in startups aligned with her values. Today, Alia is a formidable brand in her own right.

Beyond acting, she has ventured into production, co-producing “Darlings” which earned her profits as both an actor and a producer upon its sale to Netflix.

Alia’s empire also extends to her investments. She invested in brands that resonate with her, like the kidswear line Ed-A-Mamma, and she became a stakeholder in Nykaa’s parent company, FSN E-Commerce Ventures, witnessing substantial growth after its public listing. She’s also backed wellness startup Phool.Co and personal stylist platform Stylecracker.

Despite her busy schedule, Alia maintains a strong presence on social media with over 79 million Instagram followers. Her global influence is evident through her Met Gala appearance and her appointment as Gucci’s global Indian brand ambassador.

Alia’s journey from her debut in “Student of the Year” to her recent successes showcases her diverse acting skills and her ability to balance commercial hits with thought-provoking roles.
