Alia Bhatt’s 24th birthday: These 12 childhood pictures of B-town’s diva are simply adorable!

Birthday girl Alia Bhatt's childhood pictures just cannot be ignored!

Alia Bhatt is the reigning queen of Bollywood. At such a young age she has given back to back hits. Her recently released movie ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ that hit the screens on March 10 has already collected over Rs. 60 crore at the box office. And that calls for double celebration for Alia who turned 24 today. Born to ace filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and veteran actress Soni Razdan on March 15, 1993, Alia played her first leading role in ‘Student of the Year’ that released in the year 2012. But years ago the gorgeous actress had made her acting debut as a child artist. She played the younger version of Preity Zinta’s character in the film ‘Sangharsh’ that hit the cinema theatres in 1999. Many might remember that picture of baby Alia from ‘Sangharsh’. But there are many other childhood pictures of our birthday girl which are truly adorable.

We all love to see our childhood pictures. It is something precious and very close to our hearts. We just love our avatar as a baby and today on Alia Bhatt’ birthday, we bring to you some of her babyhood pictures. Alia looked simply cute. Today she looks fit and sexy but way back then she was a chubby little girl. In fact the Shanaya Singhania we saw in ‘Student of the Year’ wasn’t that slim and trim in her earlier days. Her transformation from flab to fab was shocking. Before she could sign the film, Karan Johar’s favorite diva was asked to shed all those baby fats and KJo was extremely strict about her fitness.

So let’s take a look at some of Alia Bhatt’s childhood pictures where she is seen sharing frame with her daddy dearest Mahesh Bhatt, BFF designer Masaba Gupta, half-sibling Pooja Bhatt, elder sister Shaheen, on the sets of ‘Sangarsh’ and many more.
