We all have room to be great and shine: Alaya on competition in Bollywood

Actor Alaya F believes it is the best time for a newcomer to join Bollywood as the film industry is blooming with opportunities.

The 22-year-actor, who made her Bollywood debut with Saif Ali Khan-led "Jawaani Jaaneman", said she is not worried about the competition and would only focus giving 100 per cent to her work.

"I believe it is important to focus on your work and everything else will fall into place. All of us are so different that any one of us is not trampling on any one else's face.

"We all have room to be great and shine," Alaya told PTI here on the sidelines of Lakme Fashion Week Summer/Resort 2020.

Her performance in the Nitin Kakkar-directed film has been well-received by the audiences and Alaya said she is happy to have an incredible start.

"Ever since I decided to act and went to acting school, I feel things have been falling in place. Everything that's been happening has been very surreal and overwhelming, but still it all felt so right and natural. Everything is taking it's course and in the best way."
