When your most most most favourite actor picks you when asked who they think deserves to be the next Bollywood superstar, there is literally no better feeling in the world! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Priyanka Chopra. Going to be smiling and dancing all day.” Take a look at her reaction here:
Priyanka Chopra first took Alia Bhatt’s name before declaring her a superstar already. She took a few seconds to introspect before finally taking Alaya’s name. Priyanka Chopra is of the belief that the Freddy star is not trying to be like everyone else. She said, “I think Alia is, but she is a Bollywood superstar so I can’t say. I really like Alaya Furniturewala, she is Pooja Bedi’s daughter. And I told her when I met her that I think she is just cool and has a unique perspective. She is not trying to be like everyone else. I think we’ll find out in a few years.”
