The 20-year-old newcomer says she simply ignores them. Alia, who has been linked to co-stars Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor, said she will not hide her feelings from the world when she eventually falls for somebody.
"I have been hearing these rumours since I started my career. There were reports that I was dating Varun when I didn't know him.
"I have stopped reacting because these rumours don't bother me. I believe that I should not bother about such stories when they are not true. If something ever happens, then I will definitely tell the world about it," said Alia.
She may not be in a relationship right now but Alia is very clear about what she wants in her 'Mr Darcy'. "The biggest thing that I will consider while in a relationship would be whether I connect to a person or not. Otherwise, I don't have any restriction. That person could be from the industry, a businessman or a diver."
The actor, who is the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, started her career in Bollywood as a child artiste in Sangharsh, where she played the younger Preity Zinta. She debuted as lead with Karan Johar's Student of the Year.Alia will be next seen in Johar's 2 States, which is an adaptation of Chetan Bhagat's novel of the same name. She is paired opposite Arjun, who teaches her Hindi on the sets. "Arjun is a great co-star. He corrects my Hindi pronunciations as I am very poor in the language. I am a big fan of him and was totally bowled over by his performance in Ishaqzaade," she said.
