Alia braved extreme cold for her bikini shot in Shaandaar

Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt said that she worked very hard for her bikini scene in ‘Shaandaar’. The trailer of the Vikas Bahl-directed movie which stars Shahid Kapoor in the lead role was unveiled on Tuesday in Mumbai. At the end of the film's trailer, Alia is seen in a pink bikini.

Speaking after the launch, Alia said, "Shahid and I were both training. He was training just for his usual self, as he likes to stay fit. I was training hard for that bikini shot. I was on diet, was focused about getting it right.

It was not an elaborate shot, but I worked so hard." Vikas Bahl disclosed that the bikini scene was shot on the 'coldest day' and Alia was ready with a pair of pants to slip into soon after the shot.

Alia revealed it was because of Shahid that she got to do two of her upcoming films – ‘Shaandaar’ and ‘Udta Punjab’ - with him. In ‘Shaandaar’, Alia plays a free spirited girl named after herself - Alia. "Alia and Alia both are mad. With this film I got to explore funny and quirky side of me,” she added.
