While the world compares Bhatt and Hania, the latter has credited the National Award-winning actress for her success in showbiz. On multiple occasions, the Mere Humsafar actress opened up about being compared to the Gangubai Kathiawadi actress.

In an old interview with Jang Newspaper, Hania Aamir stated that Alia Bhatt had been one of the main reasons behind her getting a lot of projects. She also expressed that if any producer needs an innocent-looking, dimpled young girl then they know where to find her. Additionally, when the Indian actress becomes the face of any brand in India, then that same company approaches Hania to represent them in Pakistan. “So, I am very thankful towards Alia Bhatt and if I ever meet her in person, I would be over the moon,” she added.

In the same chat, she also expressed her admiration of Indian actors like Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Ranbir Kapoor calling them her ‘favorites’. Earlier, the Mujhe Pyaar Hua Tha fame also told a local publication that she feels good when people compare her with the Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani actress. She divulged that she feels good when people call her ‘Pakistan ki Alia Bhatt’ adding that she respects the senior actress. “She is a brilliant and talented actress,” Hania noted in that clip.

On multiple occasions, the Pak TV star has expressed her fondness with Indian actors. Recently, she was also spotted attending Diljit Dosanjh’s concert in London with Badshah. Her friendly relationship with the Indian rapper and their holiday together had made netizens speculate that they could be dating each other. However, in an interaction, she had called the Paani Paani singer a ‘Good guy’ and her great friend.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia Bhatt is currently filming for her upcoming actioner, Alpha co-starring Munjya fame Sharvari. Directed by Shiv Rawail and produced Aditya Chopra, the female-led action movie of the YRF Spy Universe will be released on December 25, 2025.

Piyush Mishra gave some of the iconic performances and songs to the Indian film industry. He also shared the screen with several notable stars like Ranbir Kapoor. While the senior artist spoke about his career in an interview, he opened up about his experience of working with Ranbir Kapoor and Imtiaz Ali in Rockstar and Tamasha.

Actor, singer, lyricist, playwright, musician, screenwriter- there’s hardly anything that Piyush Mishra hasn’t aced in his extensive career. While he is currently on the biggest India tour with his brand Ballimaaraan, he also indulged in a conversation with Bollywood Hungama. While talking about his personal and professional life, the artist shared how it was working with Imtiaz Ali in the 2015 romantic-drama film, Tamasha.

The Gangs of Wasseypur fame stated that he paid the part exactly the way Ali had penned. In fact, he did it nearly 16 times. However, Mishra was quick to mention that the filmmaker has a unique way of making movies. According to him, Imtiaz doesn’t do retakes but he asks the actor to continue acting and he keeps rolling. Then during editing, he keeps the best part in the film. He further mentioned that both Ranbir Kapoor and him are Ali’s trusted actors. Moreover, their bonding was also great on the sets. Hence, they would keep doing their part and he retained what he felt was perfect.

In the same chat, The Shaukeens star stated that it’s always fun to work with the Amar Singh Chamkila filmmaker. Both the actors also had a great time working with the director in the 2011 award-winning movie, Rockstar. This is when he went on to divulge about the iconic ‘malish scene’ in the film. Mishra made a revelation and stated that he had told Imtiaz about that scene nearly 20 years ago.

“Vo jo malish wala scene tha, maine us aaj se 20 saal pehle bataya tha. Romeo and Juliet mai adapt kar raha tha purani Dilli mein, maine use ye scene bataya tha. (I have told him about the malish scene 20 years ago from today. I was in Delhi, adapting the epic love story Romeo and Juliet when I had told him about it)” Piyush Mishra recalled.

Earlier this year, Mishra shared the screen with Pankaj Tripathi in Main Atal Hoon. Ranbir, on the other hand, is filming for Ramayana slated to release during the Diwali 2025 weekend.
