Namaskar steals spotlight as Alia presents at BAFTAs

Bhatt presented the Best Film not in English Language category BAFTA to Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier for his film Sentimental Value. "We live in a time when images are thrown at us at the rapid speed we could imagine. A lot of these images are seen on our phones and a lot of these images are trying to sell us the ideas, things, ideology and they are seeking us out to try to use the moving image for that. I feel that the films this year are the films that are made for deep viewing, for humanist viewing where we can sit together in rooms like this and experience to see the other, hopefully, through empathy, curiosity and open up the possibility of the theatrical experience for that," Trier said while accepting the award.

Bhatt opted for a custom silver Gucci dress and complemented it with a white stole for the ceremony. Bhatt was among a star-studded lineup of celebrities as presenters, which included the names of Alicia Vikander, Bryan Cranston, Cillian Murphy, Emily Watson and Monica Bellucci.
