‘I am not doing a Bhatt film’
Alia Bhatt, daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, is yet to work with her family production house and the young actress says she will wait till the right film comes her way. The 20-year-old actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2010 with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year, did work in Mukesh Bhatt's Sangharsh where she played the young Preity Zinta.
Ever since making her debut, Alia has signed three other big banner films but none of them are with Vishesh Films production.
“I am not being offered any film. They are launching other people... giving 100 crore to other people. But jokes apart I think they are waiting for the right project and the right time. Till now nothing has come my way. It will happen. And when it does it will be with a bang,” Alia said.

‘I want to educate fans by twerking’
Pop star Miley Cyrus, who introduced the controversial dance move called twerking last year, says she has no idea what all the fuss is about her shows and claims they help her young fans.
Cyrus has defended her raunchy stage shows and insists that her young fans should be aware of sex, reports mirror.co.uk. “What’s crazy to me, is that sexuality is still too offensive. Kids need to know about sexuality. Girls need to be comfortable in that,” said the 21-year-old.
“When people think of twerking, the first thing they think of is me. And I’m just this little girl from Nashville who put up a funny video of me in a onesie dancing. Then people take it crazy,” she added.
