"I am not like Deepika Padukone": Alia Bhatt

The Student of the year- Alia Bhatt has without a doubt made it big in
the industry at such a young age and is already being compared to
actresses like Deepika Padukone. Alia has been working with Randeep
Hooda in Imtiaz Ali's film 'Highway' and with Arjun Kapoor in Abishek
Varman's '2 States' based on Chetan Bhagat's novel. In '2 States', she
plays a South Indian girl, probably why comparisons are being drawn
between her and Deepika who is donning a similar character in 'Chennai
Express'.

However, recently in an interview when Alia was asked to comment on
this, she said, "She is a modern day South Indian girl so her accent
is not that heavy. I am not like Deepika from 'Chennai Express'."
In terms of comparison as an actress also she believes she can't be
compared to someone like her and adds, "I don't think I can be
compared to her as she is much senior and a fantastic actress. So,
with these comparisons obviously I would be flattered, but I can't be
like her. That's just not possible!" Guess, the young gun has learnt
her lessons in being humble.
