"Dear Zindagi is closest to my life. I am not saying I am exactly that character but I relate to it the most. Getting pissed off with relationships, there is a dialogue in teaser 3, where I say I hate couples. That happens," Alia said. "Not only me, but everyone will be able to see a shade of themselves in my character," she said.

The actress 'hopes' that the recent demonetization move of the government will not affect her film.

Directed by Gauri Shinde of 'English Vinglish'-fame, 'Dear Zindagi', which also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Angad Bedi, Kunal Kapoor, is scheduled to release on November 25.
