Yes, she can act, but Alia Bhatt can also paint! The young actress says if she could, she would love to draw a portrait of Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan some day as she considers him a "Greek god".
Present at the inauguration of an art gallery Splassh here, Alia said: "I think I would love to paint Hrithik Roshan. He looks like a Greek god. I would love to paint him, but I don't think I would be able to as I can't do portraits."
Otherwise, she loves to pick up the paintbrush and use it creatively. The 20-year-old, in fact, made a charcoal painting and has hung it up in her room.
Alia's choice is clear when it comes to a special favourite in paintings - she loves lions.
"I am very obsessed with lions. I had once tried making one, but it turned out to be small and kind of abstract. I am not very good but I will try again to paint a lion. I have two months off, so I will paint," she said.
Alia is currently back from a schedule of "2 States" with Arjun Kapoor. The film is directed by Abhishek Varman.
She has wrapped up shooting for Imtiaz Ali's "Highway", which stars Randeep Hooda opposite her.
