MUMBAI: Alia Bhatt in this early age already bagged two Black Lady - clinching the best female actor filmfare award.

First for Highway and now second for Udta Punjab. And who is more happy than family! So Alia's father Mahesh Bhatt posted a picture of his daughter holding her trophy and a message - “Once you become fearless, life becomes limitless."

Alia said, when asked her about the absence of her dad at the function, “Dad doesn't go to any award functions unless he is presenting a trophy to a dear friend. But even though he was not there in person, he was there in spirit. He had asked my manager, Grishma, to put her cellphone on speaker if I won. He texted me later, saying he'd loved my speech.

When I wondered how he had heard it, I learnt this. Dad later posted on our WhatsApp family group that he was excitedly doing cartwheels all night." Alia memorizes the moment by saying, "It was a surreal moment going back on stage to receive the trophy from Srideviji.

When I stepped down, my manager asked me how it felt and I told her I was thinking what next." The Highway actress said, “When I was being asked who stood a chance of winning, it was difficult to come up with one name. Sonam Kapoor's performance in and as Neerja was really good and I am happy she bagged the Critics' Choice award for it. It was most deserving and her speech was very moving. I congratulated her there and texted her later. Sonam's very secure in her space and we are beyond fighting for awards."
