Alaya F Reveals the Reason Behind Playing Darker Shades in U-Turn & Freddy, Says She Jumped onto the Opportunity of Exploring Unique Characters

Alaya F has never played it safe with her screen choices. Be it her debut film Jawaani Jaaneman or her celebrated thrillers U-Turn and Freddy. For Alaya, exploring dark shades in U-Turn and Freddy has been a conscious choice of grabbing opportunities to explore herself as an actress – and she did not disappoint!

Alaya opened up about her choice and indicated that it’s the experimentation with different films and characters that pulls her. “After Jawaani Jaaneman, I received multiple film offers ranging across genres. As an actor, it’s more fun to be a part of films of varying genres, play unique characters – there are so many people who don’t get this chance. So, I jumped onto it but I am very excited about what’s coming up for me,” says Alaya.

“Genuinely, I’ve reached a point where I’m like I love acting and I’m here to act, so I just want to act. I don’t want to get stuck in all the drama of what I should do and what I shouldn’t do. I just want to do what my heart wants to do,” she adds.

On the work front, Alaya has been keeping herself busy shooting multiple projects from 2025, and with the work in progress, audiences are truly in for a massive treat!
