Alia Bhatt stunned one and all with her ajrakh-printed glamorous saree at the Joy Awards held in Saudi Arabia. Alia became the first Indian woman to be awarded in this awards ceremony. The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress was conferred with the 'Honorary Award' at the ceremony. Alia's saree was designed by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Prior to her, Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan were awarded at the Joy Awards.
What Alia said
"It's truly an extraordinary night. I'm obsessed with movies, it's all I know. I've said this before, I think when I was born, I came out on 'Lights, camera, action'. That's how much cinema means to me. One of the things, if we are talking about joy, one of the greatest things in our lives is love. So tonight when I go back home, I take back with me the love of the movies and the love that I felt here in Riyadh. So, thank you so much, and here's to the magic of movies," Alia said in her winning speech.
