Alia Bhatt chills with Kartik Aaryan at award show; gives special shout out to husband Ranbir Kapoor at 2 am

After a short but overwhelming maternity break, Bollywood beauty Alia Bhatt is back in action! While she has constantly been blessing our social media feed, lately she has been busy winning hearts with her stunning public appearances– may it be the gorgeous shimmery saree she donned at Kiara Advani and Sidharth Malhotra’s wedding reception, or the Gangu waala safed that she opted to wear at Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2023. Well, last night Alia attended the Zee Cine Awards 2023. Yet again, she made heads turn in her custom made green cut-out gown.

While Alia lifted the trophy of Best Actress for Gangubai Kathiawadi at the awards show, Bollywood heartthrob Kartik Aaryan was honoured with the Best Actor award for his work in Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2 . Much to our delight, Alia has now given us a sneak peek into the starry affair through social media. She shared an unseen snap of herself posing with Kartik and the other ‘men of the moment’-- Anupam Kher , who won the award for Best Actor Viewers' Choice, and filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri whose directorial The Kashmir Files was honoured with Best Film Viewers' Choice.

Apart from this unseen picture, Alia also shared a cute snap of her peeking through her Best Actress trophy later at night. Along with this post, the actress gave a special shout out to her husband Ranbir Kapoor , who could not accompany her for the awards night as he was busy shooting. Alia wrote: “Gangu love❤️ Thank you @zeecineawards for the honour! Sir- no words will ever be enough for how grateful I am to you!! @bhansaliproductions. special mention to my husband for patiently taking my picture at 2am😬.”

Many congratulations to Alia on her win! Up next, the actress will be seen in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani opposite her Gully Boy co-star Ranveer Singh. She will also be making her Hollywood debut with Tom Harper’s Heart of Stone. We wish her all the best!
