Throwback - When Young Alia Bhatt fainted in school! Former classmate spills surprising details

Alia Bhatt, today a celebrated Bollywood actress and a globally recognised star, had her share of childhood stories, some amusing, some unexpected. A former classmate of the actress once, in an old interview, made candid revelations about Alia’s school life, sharing insights into her life before she hit the limelight.

The Popular Girl With the Star Tag
Even during her school days, Alia Bhatt was no ordinary student. Being Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, she was widely known and admired.

As reported by the India Forums, her classmate recalls that Alia “always had a group” and was “the popular girl who used to get all the attention.” She was regularly selected for school plays and events, and there was often an entourage of friends around her. The classmate adds, “We all knew she was always going to be an actor. Some were jealous because she was already sorted, unlike others who had to struggle like Shah Rukh Khan, and some simply didn’t care.”


Crash Dieting in 6th Grade Led to Fainting Episode
One of the most surprising memories shared was how young Alia and her group were caught up in crash dieting as early as the 6th standard. The classmate narrated, “After physical education class in the summer, they all fainted.”

Quiet at Reunions, Focused on Her Circle
Although she was well-known at school, Alia wasn’t someone who mingled widely. The classmate reflected, “Frankly speaking, she never spoke to anyone except her friends. She was a 70-80% student.” Even at a recent school reunion, it seems old patterns remained, with people sticking to their childhood groups. “I saw Alia, and I don’t think she ever noticed me in school or the reunion,” the classmate added, offering a glimpse into the star’s tight-knit social world.

Meanwhile, Alia continues to dazzle internationally, recently turning heads at the Cannes Film Festival as a Gucci muse, blending vintage charm and bold fashion choices on the red carpet.
