Alia Bhatt recalls an unforgettable shoot
Alia appeared on the season 2 premiere episode of ‘India’s Got Latent’ along with her ‘Alpha’ co-star Sharvari to promote her upcoming action thriller.Talking about the experience, the actor said that he really enjoyed Samay Raina’s humor and the lively atmosphere on the set. “We loved his special. We loved how much laughter he brings to everyone and we had an amazing time.” He went on to reveal that while the audience saw an episode that lasted around an hour, the actual filming went on for almost five hours. “What you saw was only an hour, but we were there for four to five hours. During those five hours, we were laughing almost the entire time.”
When the laughter confused his smartwatch
Sharing the funniest memory of the session, Alia revealed that her smartwatch couldn’t tell the difference between prolonged laughter and stress. Because his heart rate remained elevated throughout the recording, the device interpreted this as a sign that he was under pressure.“Even the device that tracks my heart rate thought I was really stressed because it’s not normal to laugh so much. But it was really fun.” The candid anecdote drew laughter from the audience, highlighting how entertaining the filming experience had been.
Samay Raina’s playful strokes went viral
Alia’s appearance in ‘India’s Got Latent’ quickly became one of the most talked about episodes of the show, thanks to Samay Raina’s roast comedy. At one point, when Alia admitted that she was “slightly regretting” agreeing to appear on the show, Samay jokingly replied:“Maine bhi kiya tha ‘Jigra’ dekh ke sorry.” (I also regretted it, after watching ‘Jigra’) The actor laughed at the comment and humorously thanked him for contributing to the film’s box office collections.The comedian also poked fun at Alia’s appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, saying, “Kahan Cannes, kahan Latent. But here, the camera is on her.” (From Cannes to ‘Latent’…what a journey! But here, the camera is on you.) Later in the episode, Samay again teased Alia by claiming that she was a big fan before adding, “…of your husband, Ranbir Kapoor.”He closed the episode by handing out gift carts to Alia and Sharvari and joking, “I’ve always wanted to give my autograph to someone like you.” ‘Alpha’ is getting ready for releaseAlia Bhatt will be seen in ‘Alpha’, the latest chapter in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe.
