Alia Bhatt Faced Frightening Airport Incident After Debut, Reveals Former Bodyguard

Former bodyguard of Alia Bhatt, Zeeshan Qureshi, had mentioned an incident when Alia Bhatt was cornered by the staff at the airport. The situation was quite difficult for her.

It took place immediately after the debut of Alia. She had to travel abroad for the first time after the release of her film “Student of the Year.” After going through the immigration process, Alia stood all alone in one corner of the airport. As soon as the airport staff and customs officials saw Alia alone, they all rushed to her. They surrounded her and excitedly exclaimed, "Ma'am, just one photo, just one photo."

During an interview with Screen, Zeeshan Qureshi said, "People got too close to Alia. Some tried to put their hands on her neck and shoulders. Alia was very scared and stood in a corner, arms and legs tucked up. When Zeeshan Qureshi cleared immigration, he ran to Alia.

Alia's bodyguard scolded all the airport staff and said, 'Stay away a little. She may be a heroine on screen, but in real life, she's a girl. If a girl is standing alone, at least maintain some distance.'" Zeeshan explained that he had worked with Alia for 3-4 years when she was shooting for 'Student of the Year.' He escorted Alia safely out of the scene.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's film 'Love & War' stars Alia Bhatt, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal. The film will be released in theaters on January 21, 2027. The film's budget is reported to be over ₹425 crore.

Directed by Shiv Rawail, the film stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh in lead roles. Bobby Deol will play the main villain, and Anil Kapoor will be seen in a pivotal role.
