‘Mujhpe Nazrein Na Atkana, Kaatil Meri Ankh Da Nishana’ - despite the warning, we had fallen for 22-year-old starlet’s easy-going charm and her performance in Jawaani Jaaneman had made us hard to believe that it was her debut film.

Alaya Furniturewalla had made her Bollywood debut with Jawaani Jaaneman in 2020 and the special screening of the film was attended by her grandfather, Kabir Bedi, parents, Pooja Bedi and Farhan Furniturewalla, with their respective spouses. The special screening of the film became even more special with the presence of Alaya’s rumoured beau, Aaishvary Thackeray. Alaya and Aaishvary had twinned in black for the event and had posed for the paparazzi.
In an interview with the IANS, Alaya Furniturewalla had revealed that she likes to make decisions on her own when she was asked if she takes career advices from her star grandfather, Kabir Bedi and mother, Pooja Bedi. She was quoted as saying, "I like to do stuff myself, be it taking any decision or anything else, I generally take my own call. I believe in 'sabki suno lekin apni karo' (listen to everyone but take your own call). It does not mean that I don't take the advice my mother or my grandfather (Kabir Bedi) give me about films. I do discuss things with them, but at the end of the day it would be my decision. I am quite critical about myself."
After the first special screening of Jawaani Jaaneman, Pooja Bedi had penned down her emotions on watching her ‘not so baby girl anymore’, Alaya Furniturewalla embarking on her journey of fame. Pooja had tweeted, “So emotional!!!! Watched #JawaaniJaaneman with cast crew & family. I've laughed & wept &been filled with a multitude of emotions!!!! What an amazing feeling to watch my child on the big screen. Her love & commitment to her craft is so apparent. Thank u @jayshewakramani @Pooja_Ent.” (Also Read: Neha Kakkar And Rohanpreet Posing With Family For A Picture Hints At Their Roka Amid Wedding Rumours)
