When asked about her views on which cricketer would make a good spy, the actress said:
“I think Mahendra Singh Dhoni would make a fabulous spy. His facial expressions are totally on point. For me, Dhoni is perfect for the role of a spy”
Alia was quite expressive in her adoration for VIVO IPL and the opportunity it provided for ‘young talent’ by saying:
“The tournament is a very ‘parivarik’ experience which involves the entire family in a bundle of entertainment. The best part about VIVO IPL is the fact that it gives a spectacular opportunity to youngsters to showcase their talent by giving them a really big opportunity”.

“I think the KKR pacer Shivam Mavi has a lot of potentials and I really like him. He’s doing really well in VIVO IPL despite his injury. If there is a story to share about young talent doing well in VIVO IPL, it is Shivam Mavi’s story.”
