Bollywood star, Alia Bhatt has softly hinted at quitting acting to pursue her 10-year plan for continuing her contribution to the film industry, saying that she ‘may be not always starring in the film’.
Alia Bhatt is currently promoting her upcoming film, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi which will release in theatres on February 25.
While being interviewed by Film Companion, the actress expressed her thoughts that she is now in a position to realize her ideas besides sharing her 10-year plan. Alia Bhatt said she wants to run a production house to nurture new talent.
“If I am being a producer, I am getting a percentage on the profit, it’s a great thing for me. For me, it’s not about the money, it’s actually about if I reached a certain point (after 10 years in the industry) where I think I am in a good position to support new talent.”

“It’s not only about fueling my engine, I can now use the fuel and fuel other engines as well. At the end of the day, we all are contributing to cinema,” Hindustan Times quoted her interview.
Alia Bhatt “So I realise, why can’t I be one of those people who is part of a creative production process. Putting a project together creatively, holding the director’s or writer’s hand, may be not always starring in the film; that’s something that I want to do. If you ask me my next 10 year plan, it’s building my production house.”
She also asked young writers and directors to reach out to her by dropping direct messages on her Instagram page – Eternal Sunshine productions as she wants to tell stories that are unpredictable.

Kapoor family’s tradition
Alia Bhatt’s hint to quit acting has recalled Ranbir Kapoor’s mother Neetu Kapoor’s decision to end her career at the age of 21 after she decided to marry Rishi Kapoor. She had been among the top actresses of her time who was delivering back-to-back hits and being nominated for awards.
Many alleged that it was due to the Kapoor family’s tradition of not allowing the women in the family to work. However, Neetu Singh had dismissed the allegations and clarified on multiple occasions that quitting films was her personal choice as she was tired of working and chose to have a family.
