It wasn't easy for her to get a big Bollywood break. Karan Johar had auditioned around 400 girls before he finalised on Alia. Though she was fit for the role, Karan said the only problem was that she was on a heavier side, which didn't set well with the vision of his female protagonist. And the obedient student that she is, lil' Ms Bhatt took to cardio with a vengeance, topping it with hours of weight training. Now she makes heads turn with her scintillating figure and fashion sense.

The actress has played her cards right and has done a variety of roles. She has already worked with quite a few celebrated filmmakers and others are already queuing up to sign her for their films.

We wish Alia, a very happy birthday!
