BAFTA 2026: Alia Bhatt Wins Hearts With Her Hindi Speech As A Presenter
It was a proud global moment for Indian cinema as Alia Bhatt made her dazzling debut on the BAFTA stage at the 79th British Academy Film Awards. The actress attended the prestigious ceremony as one of the presenters and left an unforgettable impression – not just with her fashion, but with her words.
Alia presented the award for Best Film Not in the English Language, a category that celebrates powerful storytelling beyond borders. For the glittering night, she stunned in a custom-made Gucci silver sequin gown paired with a dramatic white faux fur stole – easily one of the most talked-about red carpet looks of the evening.
However, it wasn’t just her style that captured attention. Alia won hearts worldwide when she began her presentation in Hindi, proudly representing her roots on an international platform. “Namaskar! Agla award ek aisi film ke liye hai, jo angrezi mein nahi hai. Don’t reach for the subtitles just yet. I was only saying in Hindi that the next award is for a film not in the English language. Because while film speaks in countless voices, what we always celebrate is the language of cinema. And that one we all speak fluently,” she said.
