However, amid the recent lot of rising faces, the one who has not only proven to be promising for the silver screen, but also established a strong bond with the audiences through her fitness, dance, health and a simple way of looking at life, is Alaya F.
Talking about her journey, the actress said, " have had my share of struggles. I’ve had nights where I sobbed after not getting the 10th audition I gave in a month, or when I was canceled at the last second for a test I had been prepping for for the longest time."
She added, “I’ve had my low moments where I’ve gotten switched out and replaced, but the journey has been very different. And I think it’s always important to recognize that.”
Daughter of celebrated actress Pooja Bedi, Alaya F stepped into Bollywood with Jawaani Jaaneman and delivered an exceptional performance within her first film. Not only did she display a range that would be unexpected from a newcomer, but she also set the tone for a brighter future.

With unpredictable twists and sharp turns, Alaya defined how lines blur between love and obsession.
