The competition definitely gets interesting as the two queen’s battle it out for box-office glory. Though there has been a surge of young actors over the past years, only a few have managed to make a mark. Alia is definitely one of them. That too with just her debut film, Student of the Year. Also Alia Bhatt is the ambassador of popular brands such as Coca-Cola, Garnier and Maybelline. Out of the two, Alia got upper hand and enjoys more fan loving at such a small age.
