Alia Bhatt reflects on her decade-long career at the Red Sea Film Festival_我的网站
一 | Alia Bhatt offered a deeply personal reflection on her decade-long journey in cinema during a conversation at the Red Sea Film Festival. She traced how her craft, instincts, and inner voice have evolved from her teenage years to her early thirties. The actor entered the industry at just 17. She took this moment to describe the past ten years as a transformative period shaped by emotional maturity.
Bhatt recalled her early years as an actress, when she started out with films like Student of the Year and Highway. She recalled the time in her career when she was wide-eyed, eager, and fuelled by a tireless desire to prove herself. “Maybe earlier I was way more enthusiastic and fuller of beans, trying really hard because it’s normal when you’re just starting out,” she said. She noted how every opportunity felt urgent and every moment on set carried the thrill of discovery. Back then, she admitted, she was constantly pushing to be everywhere, do everything and absorb every ounce of the industry.
Today, though still driven by the same passion, her approach has shifted. She described her current mindset as more grounded, intentional, and measured. “I’m still enthusiastic, still full of beans, but the approach is more silent,” Bhatt said, emphasising that her choices come with greater clarity and purpose. She explained that age and experience bring a change. To emphasise the same, she said, “There's just emotional and physiological and just life changes that happen. The way you look at a situation, the way you approach a situation.”

Despite this maturity, Bhatt confessed that a part of her wishes to ‘hold on’ to the innocence and spontaneity of her younger self. A need to stay true to the version that leapt into performances with instinct rather than calculation.
Currently, she is gearing up to star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. She is also set to lead the first female-driven spy film of the YRF Spy Universe. Sharvari and Bobby Deol will also be seen the film, Alpha, alongside her. The film is set to release in April 2026.

The USS Gerald R. Ford departs from Souda Naval Base near Chania on the island of Crete, Greece, on February 26, 2026. Photo: VCGUS President Donald Trump's reported push to reshape the US Navy's next-generation aircraft carriers - from moving the island to abandoning electromagnetic catapults in favor of steam-powered systems - could impose heavy engineering, financial and schedule costs, Chinese military affairs experts said, warning of a widening gap between political preferences and the realities of building some of the world's most complex warships.
The Washington Post reported on Saturday that the US Navy is considering a major redesign of its new Ford-class aircraft carriers to better match Trump's preferred aesthetic, with the president favoring ships that more closely resemble US carriers from the World War II era. One option under study would move the carrier's island farther forward, toward the middle of the ship.
US officials cited by the report warned that such a change could require billions of dollars in redesign costs and cause substantial delays.
The potential island redesign comes only days after Trump ordered another far-reaching change to the Ford-class program. On Thursday, he signed a national security memorandum directing the Pentagon and Navy to develop a plan within 60 days to replace the Electromagnetic Aircraft Launch System (EMALS) with steam catapults and the Ford-class carriers' Advanced Weapons Elevators with hydraulic systems, beginning with the future
USS Doris Miller, or CVN-81, USNI News reported.
Trump has repeatedly criticized EMALS as "too complex" and "not as effective as steam catapults," according to Reuters.
But the order would reverse a technology path the US Navy has pursued for more than a decade. When the Navy selected EMALS in 2009, it said the system would lower overall lifecycle costs, require less maintenance than steam catapults and place less physical stress on carrier-based aircraft, per Reuters.
As of March 2026, the
USS Gerald R. Ford had conducted 36,863 EMALS launches, according to Pentagon documents cited by Reuters.
General Atomics, the manufacturer of EMALS, has warned against changing course on the
Doris Miller, saying nearly 50 percent of production related to the system has already been completed and that a switch now would create significant cost, schedule and integration risks, according to Reuters.
Zhang Junshe, a Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times on Sunday that the Ford-class carrier's aft-positioned island is not merely an aesthetic choice, but is closely tied to flight-deck efficiency and landing safety. "Moving the island farther aft creates more space around the catapults for aircraft parking and handling, helping shorten launch preparation time, while also reducing airflow disturbance during aircraft recovery," he said.
Relocating the island forward would not be a simple cosmetic adjustment, but a major redesign affecting weight distribution, buoyancy, flight-deck layout and aerodynamics, with significant implications for both cost and schedule, Zhang noted.
Song Zhongping, another Chinese military affairs expert, told the Global Times that Trump's demand is one thing, but turning it into an actual warship design is another.
"The first four Ford-class carriers have either entered service or are already in different stages of construction, leaving very little room for fundamental changes to their overall designs," Song said. Even the fifth and sixth ships - the future
USS William J. Clinton, CVN-82, and
USS George W. Bush, CVN-83 - would face considerable cost and engineering consequences if the Navy attempts to overturn their established technological architecture, he said.
The US Navy officially announced the names of CVN-82 and CVN-83 in January 2025, per the US Navy official website.
"There is an obvious gap between US President's political will and the engineering realities of aircraft-carrier construction," Song said.
Such proposed changes come as Ford-class construction timelines have already grown considerably compared with those of the preceding Nimitz class. The US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said in April that Nimitz-class carriers typically took seven to eight years to build, while Ford-class ships are currently taking roughly 10 to 11 years. In a separate assessment released this month, the CBO estimated that future Ford-class carriers under the Navy's 2027 shipbuilding plan could cost about $22 billion apiece.
"Electromagnetic launch represents an advanced direction in aircraft-carrier catapult technology and has far greater development potential than traditional steam catapults," Song said. "If the US gives up electromagnetic catapults and returns to steam catapults, that would be a technological regression and a step backward."
Echoing Song, Zhang said electromagnetic catapults offer more precise control of launch energy and broader compatibility with different types of carrier-based aircraft, while requiring less shipboard space than steam systems with their extensive high-pressure piping.
"Replacing EMALS with steam catapults on a Ford-class carrier already designed around electromagnetic launch would not only represent a technological step backward, but could also turn an attempt to reduce risk into a new source of engineering and system-integration risk," Zhang said.
