She then called the fan over herself and posed for a photo with him.<\/p>\n Alia reveals how Shaheen used to rage-bait her<\/strong><\/p>\n At the trailer launch of Don’t Be Shy<\/em>, Alia shared a childhood anecdote about her sister Shaheen. The event’s host asked Alia, Shaheen and director Sriti Mukherji about the meanings of Gen Z terms such as ‘aura farming’, ‘breadcrumbing’, ‘side quest’, ‘brain rot’ and ‘rage-baiting’.<\/p>\n Explaining the meaning of ‘rage-baiting’, Alia said, “When I was a child, Shaheen used to do exactly this to me. She would tell me that I had come free with Parle-G.”<\/p>\n She said, “She would tell me that I was not actually my mother and father’s child. I was four years old when Shaheen used to rage-bait me.”<\/p>\n Alia and Shaheen Bhatt started their production house, ‘Eternal Sunshine’, in 2019-20.<\/span><\/p>\n The film Don’t Be Shy<\/em> features four new actors and a debutant director. At the beginning of the programme, Alia said, “I made my debut as an actor 14 years ago. Today, 14 years later, I am introducing four new actors and a debutant director.”<\/p>\n She went on to say, “At this moment, I am far more nervous than they are. I have butterflies in my stomach.”<\/p>\n Four new faces will be launched in lead roles in the film. They include Aarushi Bajaj, Piyush Khati, Ansh Duggal and Bianca Arora.<\/span><\/p>\n Alia speaks about becoming a producer<\/strong><\/p>\n Alia was asked whether she had wanted to work in the film as an actress as well. She said, “No, I don’t think I ever felt that way.”<\/p>\n She said, “I love being an actress and being in front of the camera, but becoming a producer gives me a different kind of satisfaction. It gives me another level of happiness.”<\/p>\n Alia said the team had been involved from the beginning in developing the film’s world and story. Sriti had approached her with an idea and expressed a desire to make the film.<\/p>\n Aaliya said, “We said, ‘Yes, let’s do this together.’ It took two years to prepare it. After that, we took it to our dear partners at Amazon.”<\/p>\n She went on to say, \u201cWe sent them the material on Friday.
