Mumbai: Television actor Arjun Bijlani says he was an ardent fan of Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone, but finds actress Alia Bhatt cuter than all the other actresses in the Hindi film industry.

"I love Alia Bhatt. Earlier, I used to love Deepika, but since Alia has come in the picture, I find her the best. She's really cute. I think Alia is cuter than any other Bollywood actress," Arjun said on Zoom Channels' show "Diwali Beats".

Talking about his favourite Bollywood actor, he says: "King Khan (Shah Rukh Khan) is my idol. To remain on number one for so long and to maintain that position and be humble at the same time, it's really wonderful."

The actor, whose first show as a lead was in Balaji Telefilms' youth show, "Kartika" on Disney Channel, also featured in shows like "Left Right Left" and "Miley Jab Hum Tum".

He was seen as a contestant in "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 9" and will next be seen in "Pardes Mein Hai Meraa Dil" opposite Drashti Dhami.
