The actress, who is married to actor Ranbir Kapoor and shares daughter Raha with him, posted a picture of the book and simply wrote, &ldquo;obsessed.&rdquo;

The film will now bow in cinemas on April 17, 2026.
Yash Raj Films confirmed as they shared that the VFX team of Alpha needs more time to present Alpha in its visually best shape. Alia and Sharvari will go toe to toe against Bobby in this brutal showdown that is a part of the YRF spy universe.
She is currently busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/entertainment/bollywood-news/article/love-and-war-update-70-days-of-shoot-pending-six-lavish-songs-yet-to-roll-23616029" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Love &amp; War</a>. The upcoming epic romantic drama also stars Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal.

Alia and her sister, Shaheen Bhatt, are also backing the coming-of-age romantic comedy Don&rsquo;t Be Shy under their home banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions, in association with Prime Video.
&ldquo;This film immediately spoke to us because of its sincerity and coming-of-age lens and Sreeti&rsquo;s passion and energy naturally fed into the spirit of the story. It&rsquo;s an incredibly special project for me and for Eternal Sunshine,&rdquo; Alia had said.
