Following this, she took on the challenging role of a poor Bihari migrant in "Udta Punjab" (2016), a crime drama addressing substance abuse by Abhishek Chaubey. Bhatt's portrayal involved intensive preparation, including watching documentaries on drug abuse and mastering a Bihari dialect. Despite controversy over its representation of Punjab, the film received clearance from the Bombay High Court. Bhatt's performance was highly praised, earning her awards and nominations at prestigious ceremonies.

2017The successful streak continued in 2017 with the romantic comedy "Badrinath Ki Dulhania," reuniting Bhatt with director Shashank Khaitan and co-star Varun Dhawan. The film, addressing gender expectations, was lauded for Bhatt's portrayal of a modern, independent woman. She received another Best Actress nomination at Filmfare for her role. (Supporting Pic Required)
2018Meghna Gulzar's espionage thriller "Raazi" (2018) featured Bhatt as Sehmat Khan, a Kashmiri spy married to a Pakistani army officer during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. Adapted from Harinder Sikka's novel, the film was both a critical and commercial success. Bhatt's performance was praised for its maturity and depth, leading to another Best Actress award at Filmfare. The film's success solidified Bhatt's position as one of the most successful actresses in Hindi cinema.
2019In early 2019, Bhatt established her production company, Eternal Sunshine Productions. Her first appearance that year was in Zoya Akhtar's "Gully Boy," a musical inspired by street rappers Divine and Naezy. Bhatt's portrayal of a character in the challenging environment of street rap earned her acclaim, and the film became her highest-grossing release to date, earning over ₹2.37 billion (US$30 million). "Gully Boy" won numerous Filmfare Awards, with Bhatt securing her third Best Actress trophy. Later in 2019, Bhatt starred in the ensemble period drama "Kalank," set in the 1940s. The film, despite being her biggest-budget project at that time, did not perform well at the box office. (Supporting Pic Required)
2020Bhatt's 2020 release, "Sadak 2," a sequel to her father's film "Sadak" (1991), faced challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic, leading to its digital release on Disney+ Hotstar. The film became a focal point in the nepotism debate in the Hindi film industry following the demise of Sushant Singh Rajput. Despite negative reviews and controversies, Bhatt's performance received mixed reactions. Pallabi Dey Purkayastha of The Times of India described it as "strictly average" by her high standards.

Alia Bhatt’s Entrepreneurial Ventures

In 2014, she showcased her creative side by designing a clothing line exclusively for women, which was featured on the online fashion portal Jabong.com. In 2018, Bhatt expanded her entrepreneurial portfolio by launching her line of handbags in collaboration with VIP Industries.

Beyond fashion, Bhatt demonstrated her business acumen as an investor in Nykaa, a prominent beauty company. She also invested in India's pioneering biomaterial startup, Phool.co.

Perceptions of Alia Bhatt's Personality and Presence
Sucharita Tyagi, a writer, provides a delightful insight into Alia Bhatt's personality, describing her as "funny, endearing, silly, and unapologetic." Journalist Raja Sen, in 2022, offers a unique perspective, acknowledging Bhatt's petite stature compared to her peers. He notes her embrace of girlishness and diminutive size, turning these traits into assets that defy expectations regarding her ability to portray certain characters or command the screen. Suhani Singh of India Today further adds that, despite her petite frame, Bhatt has the remarkable ability to project a larger-than-life presence on screen.
Versatility and Success in Acting
Critics and industry experts recognize Alia Bhatt for her distinctive approach to acting, with a range of roles that showcase her versatility:

Laura Zornosa of Time magazine notes Bhatt's expertise in portraying "fiercely tenacious lead roles," highlighting her ability to embody strong characters. Liz Kang of CNN identifies a recurring theme in Bhatt's career—portraying "dynamic, unconventional female characters in troubling circumstances." Ishita Sengupta, a journalist for Frontline, observes Bhatt's portrayal of women with opinions, ambition, independence, and complexity, emphasizing that these characters have the freedom to be unlikeable.

Ranjita Ganesan of Rediff.com comments on Bhatt's reputation for delivering moving portrayals of breakdowns, showcasing her emotional depth as an actress. Bhatt, known for relying on instinct and spontaneity in her performances, is acknowledged by directors Meghna Gulzar and Shakun Batra. They attest that while she prepares extensively, Bhatt ultimately "acts from her gut," according to Gulzar.

In an insightful reflection on her craft, Bhatt reveals a deliberate avoidance of deconstructing her acting process. She expresses concern about losing her human touch and becoming a machine. Choosing contrasting projects, she explains, is a deliberate effort to satisfy her impatient, monotony-abhorring nature.

Ranjita Ganesan further analyzes Bhatt's career trajectory, noting that she quickly established herself as a bankable star compared to her contemporaries. Trade journalist Joginder Tuteja's calculations reveal an impressive track record, with Bhatt achieving 13 hits out of 15 releases by 2022.
