Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif. However, Alia had once opened up on the qualities that she admires in each one of them.
During her appearance on ‘
Koffee with Karan’ Season 8, Episode 4, alongside
Kareena Kapoor Khan, the 'Raazi' actress got candid about the things she absolutely loves about her fellow actresses.
