Ratna Pathak Shah criticises young actors for trying to be cute<\/p>\n

She also shared her thoughts on how some young actors behave on set, pointing out that many try too hard to appear cute. She said, \u201cShe didn\u2019t talk much, which is surprising because young actresses seem to feel the need to be the cute entertainer on set all the time. They feel that being that cute person is going to help them. It just makes them bad performers in many cases. Not Alia. I was very impressed by her. She kept herself very quiet. I don\u2019t think we exchanged more than a few words. We never had any scenes together, unfortunately. But I thought she was extremely gifted and focused. I liked her.\u201d<\/p>\n
