MUMBAI: It was a proud moment for Bollywood star Alia Bhatt at the recently held Filmfare Awards in Ahmedabad as she bagged the Best Actress trophy for her outstanding performance in the movie "Jigra".
Though the actress couldn't attend the event in person, the award was graciously collected by filmmaker and her mentor, Karan Johar, on her behalf. During the award night, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who was hosting the show, informed the audience of the reason behind Alia's absence from the show. "Alia couldn't be here because she is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's movie, " he said.
While Shah Rukh Khan did not reveal the project or divulge more details, reports suggest that Alia is working on Bhansali's much-awaited film "Love & War". The movie co-stars her husband – Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor – along with Vicky Kaushal. Talking about "Jigra", the movie marked another powerful performance by Bhatt, who had also co-produced the movie under her banner, 'Eternal Sunshine Productions, along with Karan Johar's 'Dharma Productions.'
