Speaking exclusively to Mid-Day Online, she said, "Before becoming an actor, I had started my career as a social media influencer, through which I gained a lot of fan following. I would definitely agree that I had to and still have to undergo a lot of struggle and work my way through to get a role. At the same time, I believe that social media influencers, if wanting to become an actor, should be given a chance not looking at their background but also the hard work that they put in their reels which kind of is acting only".

She continued, "I have seen people having a certain perspective towards influencers and actors, but every artist has its own unique way of presenting himself or herself irrespective of he/ she being an influencer or a theatre artist. Talent is talent".

Besides making her Bollywood debut with ‘Pyaar Ho Gaya', Aliya is also in advanced talks with the makers of a web show.
