Alia Bhatt: “I don’t want to set a bad example”

After just three years and four films, Alia Bhatt has definitely made a name for herself. ��Though the young actress believes she still has a while to go before attaining true stardom, she hopes to focus on doing diverse roles, while at the same time maintaining her girl-next-door image and not setting a bad example for her young fans.

In an interview with��Hindustan Times, Bhatt said, “I want to do as many different roles as possible. But I want to make sure that they are in conjunction with what the audiences want to see, and with what goes with my image. Having said that, I would love to play a negative character. Maybe now is not the right time for me to do it, because I have a certain fan base, which comprises mainly youngsters, and I don�۪t want to set a bad example. I have to take all these things very seriously, and I do.”

The actress will next be seen in Vikas Bahl’s ‘Shaandaar’, opposite Shahid Kapoor. ��The film is slated for release on 22nd October.
