Following an acting debut in a film alongside Saif Ali Khan, Alaya F could have seamlessly found herself choosing between the most promising projects, for her subsequent ventures. Well aware that the first year of venturing into Bollywood is a decisive one, the actor is looking forward to shooting post the lockdown. "My film released, and then we went into lockdown. I had just entered the industry, and had charted a long [journey] to get to this point. I was in conversation with a few people for some projects, but now I don't know where the films stand. We are in a state of limbo," she laments, but goes on to add that she is in the midst of preparing for a project that she cannot reveals details about.
With her contemporaries venturing into digital space, Alaya says she isn't unnerved with the idea of doing a web show, early on in her career. "I have received a lot of offers, and I am interested in dabbling in the OTT space. If a project resonates with me, I will do it."

The youngster also makes it a point to dedicate time to maintaining her fitness levels, with the array of yoga classes available online, catching her attention. "I am learning yoga, but, then again, I am neither a beginner, nor an expert.
