Alia Bhatt Celebrates Real-Life ‘Alphas’ in Pune Ahead of Her Upcoming Spy Thriller Release!

As anticipation builds for the highly awaited theatrical launch of Alpha, superstar Alia Bhatt took her promotional tour to Pune to celebrate extraordinary women who mirror the fierce, indomitable energy of her on-screen character. During her visit to the city, Alia connected deeply with trailblazing sportswomen—including legendary Olympic shooter Anjali Bhagwat and an inspiring cohort of young women wrestlers training to represent India on the world stage.

Alia began her day by visiting the shooting academy of India’s iconic markswoman Anjali Bhagwat, one of the country’s most celebrated shooting champions. Calling Anjali one of India’s original “Alphas”, Alia spent time interacting with the legendary athlete, learning about her remarkable journey and even trying her hand at shooting under Anjali’s guidance, picking up a few professional tips along the way.

Continuing the celebrations, Alia also visited Pune’s historic Jog Maharaj Vyayamshala, where she met young women wrestlers who are relentlessly training with the dream of wearing the India jersey at the Olympic Games. She watched their training sessions, witnessed friendly bouts and spent time interacting with the athletes, applauding their discipline, determination and unwavering commitment to pursuing excellence.

With Alpha celebrating courage, resilience and fearless women who challenge convention, Alia’s Pune visit became a tribute to the countless real-life women who inspire the next generation through their grit and perseverance.

Alpha, from the YRF Spy Universe, releases in cinemas worldwide this Friday.
