- Alia Bhatt bagged Student Of The Year at age 17. Shraddha Kapoor was offered her first film by Salman Khan when she was only 16 which she declined. Seven years later when she made her film debut in Teen Patti - it bombed at the box office and nobody noticed her.
- Shraddha’s second film was a teen drama. It came. It went. The industry didn’t accept her as a leading lady. Around the same time everyone wanted to cast Deepika Padukone, Anushka Sharma and Priyanka Chopra in their films. There were fewer roles for a face like Shraddha.
- Alia Bhatt didn’t get much appreciation for Student Of The Year and was labelled just-another-Poo. She was ridiculed for her poor GK but she came up with Genius Of The Year and became everyone’s favorite. She turned her flaws into glitter.
- In 2014 Alia did Imtiaz Ali’s Highway. The film earned her a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Actress. The actress was only 19 when she shot for this film.
- Shraddha tasted her first success at age 26 when she did Aashiqui 2 in 2013.
- Dharma Productions made films after films for their student Alia. Shraddha did what was offered to her.
- Alia proved her acting mettle in films like Udta Punjab, Raazi and Gully Boy. Shraddha did Haseena Parkar’s biopic and it tanked.
- Alia is the first choice when it comes to strong characters and high budget films. Shraddha is the first choice for films like ABCD.
Who is the better actress? You decide.
