As Alaya F turns a year older today, she talks to mid-day.com about her journey in the movies so far and how she plans to take it forward.

Alaya F
Bollywood actress Alaya F is currently in the coastal state of Goa ringing in her 27th birthday with four of her closest friends. This is ritual she follows every birthday, where she calls 5-10 of her closest people and has an intimate party. Ask her why Goa, and she says, "It's very convenient as it is close by. Also, my mom (Pooja Bedi) stays between Goa and Mumbai. Since she stays a lot in Goa she has some great recommendations. So it is a lot of great food and drinks. It's the perfect birthday place."
With the year nearing its end, it is also good a time for reflection. Alaya F was seen in two very distinct films this year- 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' and 'Srikanth'. Both films were very different from each other. While 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' was a star-studded action film, 'Srikanth' was an inspiring tale based on a real-life story. Ask her what these two films taught her, Alaya shares, "I got to work with very talented people. I had the privilege of working with Rajkummar in Srikanth. I had the opportunity to work with Akshay sir, Prithvi sir and Tiger in something like 'BMCM'. All the movies I have done have taught me an enormous amount. With BMCM, it is the first time I got to do commercial things like be a part of a song, look glam and act differently than my previous film. It gave me the experience of being on a hard-core action set with explosions and all of that happening. It is a very different learning."
