Alia Bhatt often hangs out with her close-knit group of girlfriends from her school days. Given her profession, she’s mostly busy shooting but when she isn’t, it’s delightful to see her chilling with her girls on birthday parties, weddings, vacation and other occasions.

Makes you think celebrities are normal people too! They also like to unwind with a drink or two once in a while. Alia’s BFF and favourite homegirl for doing regular stuff is Akansha Ranjan Kapoor. The two share a strong bond with each other and are almost inseparable. We often see pictures of them on their respective Instagram feeds, having fun, partying and doing Yoga among other things.

Hereon, the duo will have one more thing to bond about – acting – as Akansha has reportedly been signed by Karan Johar for her big Bollywood debut. We are sure the upcoming debutante is over the moon, but her eyes are very much on the ball. As per a report in BL, she has been taking acting and dance lessons from Alia.

Akansha is not entirely new to the camera as she previously featured in a music video, Tere Do Naina with Aparshakti Khurana. However, it doesn’t hurt if your bestie is an ace actor and is willing to dole out some tips for you. Right?!

All the best to you, Akansha! Looking forward to see you on the silver screen.
