Actress Alia Bhatt is beaming with joy upon working with superstar Shah Rukh Khan who she admires for his professionalism in “Dear Zindagi”.

“It was absolutely amazing (experience of working with Shah Rukh). It was such a beautiful experience to work with him. He is so professional,” Alia told IANS over phone. 

Since her debut project "Student of the Year" in 2012, Alia has delivered laudable performances in films like "Highway", "2 States", "Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania", "Kapoor and Sons" and "Udta Punjab". 

Gauri Shinde's "Dear Zindagi" marks the first time that she will appear in a film with Shah Rukh. And she is ecstatic about the project. 

"I admire him as a worker so much because he is so good to work with and be around on the sets," said Alia, who is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and yesteryear actress Soni Razdan.

The first look of "Dear Zindagi", in which the actors seem to be having a deep conversation, teased movie buffs. 

And Alia says she “can't wait for the people to see the film”.

The storyline of the film, which will release on November 25, is still a well-kept secret.
