Born into a family where her parents, Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, and elder sister Pooja Bhatt were actors and filmmakers, Bhatt made her acting debut at the age of 19 with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year (2012), which was a box-office success.

Alia was born in Mumbai, India. Her father is the film director Mahesh Bhatt and her mother the actress Soni Razdan. She has one sister Shaheen Bhatt, a half sister Pooja Bhatt, and a half brother Rahul Bhatt. Actor Emraan Hashmi, director Mohit Suri and Vishesh Bhatt are her cousins and producer Mukesh Bhatt is her uncle. Alia has completed high-school from Jamnabai Narsee School IBDP in May 2011.

Bhatt's first movie role was as a child artist when with Sangharsh (1999), starring Akshay Kumar and Preity Zinta where she played the younger Zinta.

In 2012, Bhatt made her debut in Karan Johar's Student Of The Year along with Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. Her performance were appreciated with film critic Taran Adarsh from Bollywood Hungama stating, "Alia's role is reminiscent of Kareena Kapoor in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham . Stylish, classy, born with a silver spoon, she's someone who loves to flaunt not just her clothes and bags, but also her riches. Extremely photogenic , Alia makes a super-confident debut. In fact, all three, Siddharth, Varun and Alia, are here to stay!". film critic Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN wrote, "Alia Bhatt is cute as the clueless Shanaya, if a little raw". film critic Komal Nahta commented, " Alia Bhatt ends up with a very dumb-blonde role who has to do standard ramp poses for the camera but she performs ably". Raedita Tandan from Filmfare wrote, "Among the performances, Sidharth, Varun and Alia do their best not to seem like newcomers and they emerge triumphant. And Alia definitely has what it takes to be a star. The three make confident debuts". film critic Anupama Chopra form Hindustan Times commented, "The leading lady, Shanaya, played by Alia Bhatt, carries Hermes bags. She's like Poo from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham but without the killer attitude. Shanaya is substituting her lack of family ties with designer labels. The boys are also given simplistic backstories to explain why they are the way there are". Student of the Year stood at an all India collection of INR70 crore (US$11 million) after its four weeks run and was eventually declared a major financial success.Bhatt is all set to appear in Imtiaz Ali's Highway alongside Randeep Hooda, for which filming has ended. She is currently shooting for Karan Johar and Sajid Nadiadwala's joint production 2 States alongside Arjun Kapoor. She has also been confirmed to be the leading lady in Karan Johar's production Humpty Shama Ki Dulhania opposite Student Of The Year co star Varun Dhawan and is also rumoured to be seen alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra in Anurag Basu's Jagga Jasoos. She has also been confirmed for UTV Motion Pictures and Boney Kapoor's joint production opposite Fawad Afzal Khan.

Bhatt was numerous times linked with her co stars Sidharth Malhotra and Varun Dhawan. However, she denied these rumours in an interview where she stated that:

"I can’t stop gushing about both of them. They both are so special to me. This is our first film. I have learnt a lot from both of them. The kind of dedication and drive that Varun has is something that I want to take away. He is so anal about everything. He wants everything to be perfect and he works at it. He has a lot of enthusiasm and energy.Even Siddharth for that matter is such a superb actor. He has so much depth in his eyes. I feel proud when I see them perform. For me both of them will always be superstars. I was the youngest on the sets and they were very nice to me. Unfortunately for me, I have very low immunity levels and I keep falling sick or fainting. They were always taking care of me and there for me.I am as close to Sid as I am to Varun and I am fond of both of them. I just laugh about these link-up stories." She was also linked to her 2 States co star Arjun Kapoor but denied such rumours also. She has herself stated that her best friends from the industry are Sidharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor and her mentor Karan Johar.
