In an attempt to do something special for kids on her birthday, Bollywood's 'Student Of The Year' actress Alia Bhatt relived her childhood by hosting a special screening of Hollywood movie 'Beauty and the Beast,' for children from an NGO.

While speaking to the media, the 24-year-old actor said, "We (Authorities of Angel express and Alia) decided with the Disney that we will show 'Beauty and beast' for children and as a kid, I use to watch 'Beauty and Beast' a lot. It is one beautiful story and also features Emma Watson."

"I wanted to do something for the kids as a Birthday present from me to them. I really love this story as there is one beauty and the other one is beast and there is beauty in every beast," the 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' star said.

The screening took place at Mumbai's suburban theatre and was attended by Alia's friends and family.
