Alaya F describes ‘Awful Experiences’ on film sets

Alaya F described certain experiences she had on film sets.

The young star described them as “terrible”.

She explained: “There are a number of films where I have had terrible experiences on set.

“You work with people who just don’t care about you.

‘They don’t really have your best interests at heart. You have to take care of yourself.

“You have to deal with situations where you are not treated kindly.

“That was my biggest shock.

“Because it happened after I had been in the industry for a while.

“The realization that it was also part of the job did not feel very pleasant.

“When you’re working on a film, you really want it to be a safe, happy, productive environment.”

She also revealed the discrimination in Bollywood and added:

“Not to mention that there is a big difference in the way men and women are treated in the film industry.

“There are some wonderful sets that I have participated in, but there are also some not so great sets.

“There is still a long way to go (in terms of gender equality).

“There have been many instances where I have had other female actors that I have worked with.”

Alaya F started her career at Jawani Jaanemann (2020).

Since then, she has established herself in the Bollywood firmament as one of the most promising actresses in the industry.

Alaya was last seen in Ali Abbas Zafar’s Bade Miyan Chote Miyan (2024). The film was a disappointment at the box office.

Talking about the film’s failure, Alaya said: “My character was viewed in two ways.

“Either people thought she was the most annoying character to ever grace an action, or they thought she was the most endearing character.

“I chose to play the character in a certain way. I was well aware that she wouldn’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

“Sometimes certain scenes look different on screen after editing and I have no control over that.

“I gave my heart and did what I thought was best.”

“At some point before the film’s release, I had a moment where I thought, ‘Oh my god, what if people end up hating this character?’

“Let people send me some hate and get angry. That works too.

“And anyway, the fact remains that every film has its own journey and destiny.”

Alaya F will next be seen in Srikanth. The release is scheduled for May 10, 2024.
