Talk:Alia Bhatt

British actress of Indian descent?
Found the solution to this. Look at the page of Saoirse Ronan and change it accordingly. Why not British-born Indian actress (if you she is that obsessed with being called a British citizen)!! She's not British like it says. Both her parents are Indian; it's not Indian "descent." She lives in India; also not Indian "descent." Anant-morgan (talk) 21:45, 23 February 2024 (UTC)


 * Per MOS:CITIZEN, she is British, as well as the fact that India doesn't allow dual citizenship. Saoirse Ronan may not be a good example her since she possibly has dual citizenship unlike the subject. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 11:13, 24 February 2024 (UTC)
 * But ethnicity wise, she has also been Indian and lives here too. We did same for Akshay Kumar and didn't call him 'Canadian.' In fact, the only reason calling her "British of Indian descent" would be if she preferred that way. Anant-morgan (talk) 11:34, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Kumar was originally an Indian citizen, he was Canadian for a decade, then reverted back. Besides, we do not use ethnicity in lead, only citizenship/nationality. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 13:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
 * she holds dual citizenship 152.58.79.70 (talk) 05:57, 11 July 2024 (UTC)
 * "British-born" would be incorrect too because she was born in Mumbai, Maharashtra. "Indian descent" suggests that she was born to Indian parents outside India, which is not the case. IsFanXianAlive (talk) 11:52, 3 July 2024 (UTC)

edit request for: personal life section: During an appearance on Johar's talk show Koffee with Karan in 2014, Bhatt incorrectly named Prithviraj Chavan as the President of India.

change the part of the page section personal life "prithviraj chavan" to "Prithviraj Chauhan". reason: spelling mistake issue as the mentioned figure is an important historical figure of India. Lucifer Lawliet (talk) 20:13, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * The person named to is not the important historical figure you are referring to. RegentsPark (comment) 20:42, 30 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I tried digging into the matter a bit more, and the reason why I still stand by my edit request is because the clip from 'Koffee with Karan' shows her spell it as Chauhan, not Chavan, which is the official name and pronunciation of the politician and former CM of Maharashtra and I could not find any official source that explicitly states or clarifies Alia's statement as to whom she meant: the historical king Prithviraj Chauhan or the then chief minister of the state of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan, the 17th CM of the state. The article very likely, contains speculation to somewhat justify Alia's momentous blurting out of the name, and it may be an attempt to hide a facet of lack of knowledge that Bollywood actors and actresses have displayed continuously about their own country and culture.

to say she is a 'British actress' is misleading and implies she works in British films. Instead she is an Indian actress who works in Indian films and lives in India, she just happens to be born in England. 152.37.68.182 (talk) 11:19, 18 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. Also, please read over MOS:CITIZEN which says to list her nationality which is British as noted in discussions above and in the archive.    Ravensfire  (talk) 13:07, 18 June 2024 (UTC)

Change " alia bhatt is a British actress to alia bhatt is an Indian actress" she holds dual citizenship to India n Britain. Works in Bollywood, indian film industry.. so how exactly is she a British actress? Her father is a producer in Indian films, mother who is from Britain, has worked in Indian films all her life, loved here in India. 152.58.79.70 (talk) 05:56, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

Reversal
Hi @Krimuk2.0, (tbh) I still feel a need to trim this article while (I think) I understand why you've (I didn't explicitly explain it in the edit summary) and (I know) I'm ignorant: imo, it's fine to remove "as a child" in "After making her acting debut as a child in the 1999 thriller film Sangharsh ..." cuz through the film's release year (1999) and her birth year (1993), readers (who know basic math) would easily understand the fact that Bhatt started her acting career as a child—which (probably) also applies to "at age five" in "Her first acting role was at age five in her father's production venture Sangharsh (1999) ..." as well as "a then-12-year old" and "a then-20-year old" in "... Bhansali cast a then-12-year old Bhatt opposite a then-20-year old Ranbir Kapoor to make their debuts in his film Balika Vadhu ..."—and leads should usually be short; ", with whom she has a daughter" in "She is married to actor Ranbir Kapoor, with whom she has a daughter." cuz the fact that she has a daughter with Kapoor isn't significantly covered in the body (MOS:LEADNO says, "According to the policy on due weight, emphasis given to material should reflect its relative importance to the subject, according to published reliable sources. This is true for both the lead and the body of the article."). Thedarkknightli (talk) 10:20, 13 July 2024 (UTC)
 * None of these are major issues to fight over. They might be your preference, but I don't think mentioning her acting debut "as a child" or the fact that she has a daughter affects MOS:LEADLENGTH in any way whatsoever. Additionally, mentioning the age gap of Kapoor (an adult) and Bhatt (then a minor) is pivotal to what the plot of Balika Vadhu is, and I see no reason for its removal.
