Alia Bhatt's NOT open to the idea of doing TV right now

Most newcomers today are jumping on the TV bandwagon. While many believe that doing a TV show — be it as a judge on a reality show or host of a game show — gets you more recognition and helps you reach out to a larger audience, Alia Bhatt feels differently.

“I don’t think I am ready for TV yet. So if you ask me if I would take up anything on the small screen, I would say not as of now. Although I really appreciate and respect the medium, I feel that I personally won’t be able to handle a TV show at all.”

And though she curated  shows for a new TV channel last year, she hasn’t really been part of a TV show, per se. For that, you might have to wait for the next few years. Or even more.

Here are a few names she could take a cue from...
