Want Alia to sing in reality shows, says Varun

Actor Varun Dhawan, who is impressed with his "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" co-star Alia Bhatts singing skills, wants the actress to participate in singing reality shows.

Speaking at the Mirchi Music Awards on Saturday here, Varun said: "Alia sings very well and I want Alia to participate in singing reality shows like 'Sa Re Ga Ma Pa' and 'Indian Idol'. I feel she can be a winner too."

Alia, who has sung for films like "Highway", "Humpty Sharma ki Dulhania" and "Udta Punjab", crooned the reprised version of "Tamma tamma again" from her forthcoming movie "Badrinath Ki Dulhania" at the event.

"Music is one of the important parts of Bollywood movies. Therefore, I feel there should be more awards on music as sometimes a movie gets a good opening based on its music. Music increases the excitement of a movie," she said.

"Badrinath Ki Dulhania" will hit the screens next month.
