Talking about her experience, Bhatt later said, "I don’t remember much of the shoot.
I would go to the sets only for the food". Acting career Early work (2012–2014)īhatt at an event for Student of the Year in 2012īhatt had her first leading role in 2012 with Karan Johar's teen film Student of the Year, alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. She auditioned alongside 500 girls and was cast after losing 16 kg. She played a sophisticated teenage girl involved in a love triangle. Anupama Chopra of Hindustan Times mentioned similarities between her character Shanaya Singhania and Kareena Kapoor's Pooja "Poo" Sharma in Johar's Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. (2001), but noted that her performance was "without the killer attitude". Lisa Tsering of The Hollywood Reporter dismissed her as "a washout. Not only is she inelegant in the dance numbers, but her expressions are limited and the digital retouching of her face throughout the film is a distraction". Student of the Year grossed ₹960 million (US$13 million) at the box office, becoming a commercial success.
ĭismayed by the critical response to Student of the Year, Bhatt was keen to play a better role, which she found in Imtiaz Ali's road film Highway (2014). She starred as a lonely teenage girl who develops stockholm syndrome after being abducted.
