Actress Alia Bhatt is beaming with joy upon working with superstar Shah Rukh Khan - who she admires for his professionalism - in Dear Zindagi.
`It was absolutely amazing (experience of working with Shah Rukh). It was such a beautiful experience to work with him. He is so professional,` Alia told IANS over phone.
Since her debut project `Student of the Year` in 2012, Alia has delivered laudable performances in films like `Highway`, `2 States`, `Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania`, `Kapoor and Sons` and `Udta Punjab`.
Gauri Shinde's Dear Zindagi marks the first time that she will appear in a film with Shah Rukh. And she is ecstatic about the project.
`I admire him as a worker so much because he is so good to work with and be around on the sets,` said Alia, who is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and yesteryear actress Soni Razdan.
Recently, putting all the rumours about Shah Rukh Khan having only a special appearance in Gauri Shinde's Dear Zindagi to rest, Alia Bhatt recently stated that the movie is nothing without the Badshah of Bollywood. `If you remove Shah Rukh Khan from Dear Zindagi then there is no film. In that way you can say that he is a very integral part of the film,` she told in an interview.
Sharing her excitement about the movie, the Udta Punjab actress further said that ending the year with a SRK film is like `cherry on the cake`.
The first look of `Dear Zindagi`, in which the actors seem to be having a deep conversation, teased movie buffs.
And Alia says she `can't wait for the people to see the film`.
The storyline of the film, which will release on November 25, is still a well-kept secret.
