Sun-kissed & Sultry: Alia Bhatt goes bold and backless for Dabboo Ratnani

Alia Bhatt with her million watts dimpled smile will forever exude luminosity and awesomeness wherever she goes. So it is now an established fact that whatever the lady decides to touch turns into gold, or more appropriately, into box office success. Guess, ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani got inspired by this and turned the Raazi star into a quintessential shining, Golden Girl for his annual filmy calendar. Ratnani took to Instagram to release his muse’s ‘surreal and sultry’ look. Though this is not the first time that the Udta Punjab star has gone bold to pose for the photographer, this sure captures her sensual, smouldering side highlighting her gorgeous back.

We love the focus on her bulbous eyes and the tousled, wet hair by Mickey Contractor which gives her a perfect beach babe look. Stylist Ami Patel completes this bohemian look by adorning Alia’s fingers with chunky rings. Tell us if you dig this chic meets boho look too. Alia Bhatt recently broke the internet after she turned up looking like a princess straight from an Indian fairy tale at her bestie’s wedding. On the work front, her mentor Karan Johar just released a poster of her upcoming outing, Raazi with Vicky Kaushal. We already are pretty kicked about her chemistry with Kaushal. The first poster has her looking lost in love with her co-star. Directed by Meghana Gulzar, Raazi will have Alia playing a Kashmiri spy who falls in love with a Pakistani army officer, essayed by Vicky. The film is based on the book: Calling Sehmat. Intrigued, much?

Other than this, the Padmavaat star Ranveer Singh has been waxing lyrical about Alia’s acting chops as they are currently shooting for Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy.  Singh said how she makes it effortlessly easy for him to work as the two are totally in sync with each other’s characters.
