Thank you so much," she said.

Talking about her achievements of the last year, Alia said that her daughter Raha is her 'biggest blockbuster' and added that she is 'living her dream'.

Alia said, "My biggest blockbuster was my daughter who came at the end of the year (laughs). I don't think I believe in topping anything. One of the things I also said in this AV was, whatever I do on a daily basis with my work, I do it with a lot of love and stars in my eyes. I feel very blessed and grateful. I am living the dream."

On Ranbir Kapoor

She added further saying that she is lucky to have Ranbir Kapoor as her life partner and revealed that he was taking care of their daughter as she stepped out to attend the CNBC-TV18 IBLA event. She said, "I have the fortune and I have the ability to say that 'I can take that break' and 'I can go to work'. Today I am here, my husband is sitting with the baby at home. I have that support. I feel very grateful and proud that I can say that. It should never be 'either-or'.

Asked about resuming work months after her daughter's birth, Alia added, "I feel it's your choice as to what you want to lead your life with. I would most definitely say that after having a baby my priorities have changed. My first priority will always be my baby, my family. But maybe that's something I wanted to choose for my life. My first love has been the movies. That's a very important part of who I am."

"Most definitely, women today should never feel the pressure to ace either. The pressure that you have to be a great mother, you cannot mess up or fail, I feel it is extremely unfair. You just have to do your best," Alia concluded.
