Speaking about her journey spanning 10 years, Alia had told ETimes, “When people ask me, would you go back and change anything about your life, I always say I genuinely have no regrets. I have nothing that I would change in the past because the person I am today is because of all the steps I took in the past. I feel very grateful that I have a voice that can put content together. I can fuel ideas that come to me from young directors and writers and that’s a beautiful position to be in. It’s a position of responsibility, too. I have worked really hard to get where I am today. Hard work is a given in any field, but I feel none of this would have been achievable without the blood, sweat, tears and the many sleepless nights. But I have endured. I am excited about building my production house and putting out more content.”
