Renowned actress
Alia Bhatt on Friday morning jetted-off to London for the BAFTAs 2026 event held at the Royal Festival Hall on Sunday.
Dressed in blue jeans, a matching top and a brown trench coat, Alia was all smiles as she paused to pose for photographs and wave to paparazzi before making her way inside the terminal.
This year’s ceremony will see Alia entering the spotlight to present an award.
Early this week the news of the star joining the lineup of presenters was made public.
It was also announced that she will join an impressive line-up of global talents like ‘Peaky Blinders’ star Cillian Murphy, ‘House of the Dragon’ actress Olivia Cooke, Bryan Cranston, Ethan Hawke, Kate Hudson and Michael B. Jordan, among many others.
While this is her first appearance at the BAFTA, is not her first turn representing India on an international platform. She earlier made appearances at the Met Gala and the Cannes Film Festival.
Most nominated films at the BAFTAs
The 2026 BAFTAs, set to be held on Sunday, has Leonardo DiCaprio’s ‘One Battle After Another’ leading the way with 14 nominations, followed closely ‘Sinners’ which earned 13 noms.
‘One Battle After Another’ was just two nominations shy of the BAFTA record set by ‘Gandhi’ and tying with previous heavyweights including ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’, ‘Atonement’, ‘The King’s Speech’ and ‘Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon’.
