Actor Abhishek Kumar recently shared a heartwarming moment with Alia Bhatt, recalling how far he has come since his early days in the industry. Posting selfies with the Bollywood star, Abhishek took a trip down memory lane, narrating an incident from 2013 when he worked as a crowd artist in the film Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhaniya, which starred
Alia Bhatt and
Varun Dhawan.
Abhishek remembered the last day of the shoot, where he eagerly waited from morning until 2 a.m., hoping to get a picture with Alia.
Despite waiting the entire day, the opportunity never presented itself, leaving him disappointed but motivated to continue his journey in the industry. Little did he know, a decade later, in 2024, his dreams would come full circle.
He wrote, “From a Crowd Artist To Sharing Screen Space with @aliaabhatt Ek time tha 2013 me when i was a crowd artist in “ Humpty Sharma ki Dulhaniya “ or shoot ka last day tha. Maine socha alia mam k sath bs ek picture click hojae. Maine subh se rat k 2 bje tk wait kia k mam free hongi or ek picture click hogi.

Dil khush ho k @aliaabhatt ko mil k.”
Now, as an actor sharing screen space with Alia, the tables had turned. Abhishek proudly shared that it was Alia who suggested they take a picture together this time. The moment was both humbling and exhilarating for him. He expressed his gratitude for how much he had grown in his career, feeling proud of the progress he has made.
For the unversed, the film also starred late actor
