Gangubai Kathiawadi was one such splendid performance by Alia that created the loudest stir. No one can imagine the biopic without Alia!

Darlings was her maiden production venture under her home banner, Eternal Sunshine. She headlined the Netflix film with Shefali Shah and Vijay Varma. As Badru, Alia showed a dark, vulnerable and powerful side without losing her innocence. Alia again proved why she is the most versatile and can nail any character!
Alia's debut Hollywood project, Heart Of Stone, is releasing on Netflix on August 11, 2023. It also stars Gal Gadot. Alia plays the antagonist named Keya Dhawan.
