Seasoned actor Saif Ali Khan and Gen-Z powerhouse actress Alaya F have shared the screen space for the first time in ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ – a comedy drama film that also marked Alaya’s Bollywood debut. Previously, during a promotional event for the film, Saif Ali Khan had shared his views about working with Alaya, who had just stepped into the industry. He not only expressed admiration for her ability to stay prepared but also compared her energy to that of the versatile actor Shah Rukh Khan.

“The most special experience that has made it easy for me was working with this brilliant girl (Alaya). I think it’s a new-generation thing. They are so prepared as compared to us when we started. I felt like I was working with the best I have ever worked with. I have worked with Shah Rukh Khan, and it’s been amazing. I felt the same energy with her. It was unbelievable. We’ve done a six-minute scene in one shot, and there was no problem from her side. It’s been incredible,” shared Saif Ali Khan, who is currently gearing up for the release of his upcoming OTT film, ‘Jewel Thief: The Heist Begins’.

Known for praising his co-stars, Saif Ali Khan’s words of praise not only stands unforgettable for Alaya but also solidifies her as a powerhouse Gen-Z female actress who carries the apt energy and dedication as Shah Rukh Khan. Throughout her booming career, Alaya F has chosen to soar past conventionality.

Be it ‘Freddy’, ‘Srikanth’, ‘U-Turn’ or delivering an underrated powerhouse performance in Anurag Kashyap’s ‘Almost Pyaar With DJ Mohabbat’, Alaya has proven to be the chameleon of Gen-Z actresses who is not shying away from picking genre-defying roles.
