When Sit with Hitlist host Mayank Shekhar asked, "You auditioned for 'Black', he was going to do a film with you called 'Balika Vadhu', how old were you?" Alia Bhatt quickly quipped, "When he decided to make I think I was about nine. And he said maybe I'll wait a couple of years and make it when you are like a little older but then I think he dropped the idea altogether, which still today he says I shouldn't have dropped the idea. Because it went on to become such a popular show. 'I shouldn't have listened to everybody, I should have made it', said Sanjay Leela Bhansali to Alia.

Ghoom phirke, I don’t know what happened. I went back to school. Sir decided not to make the film. But the keeda of working with him remained stuck in my head. When I joined the movies, I was told Sir only works with actors at their prime. I knew once that happens, I’ll get the chance.”
