The BAFTA Awards — one of the most prestigious film ceremonies in the world — have welcomed international stars from all corners of cinema. In 2026, Bollywood added to this global presence when Alia Bhatt stepped onto the BAFTA stage as a presenter for the first time. But she wasn’t the first Indian screen star to do so.
Priyanka Chopra Jonasmade history as the first female Bollywood actress to present at the BAFTAs. She took on the role of presenter at theEE BAFTA Rising Star Awardsegment during the 2021 ceremony, a category focused on spotlighting emerging acting talent from around the world. Her presence marked a significant milestone for Indian representation at international awards.
Following in her footsteps,Deepika Padukonebecame another Bollywood face on the BAFTA stage. In 2024, she presented the award forBest Film Not in the English Language, handing the accolade to director Jonathan Glazer forThe Zone of Interest— further strengthening India’s footprint at the British film awards.
These appearances reflected Bollywood’s growing influence and connection with global cinema, long before Alia Bhatt’s 2026 presenter debut. With each Indian actress taking on the BAFTA stage over the years, it shows how talents from India are increasingly embraced and recognised at major international platforms.
Alia’s turn as a presenter — where she greeted audiences in Hindi and English — built on this legacy, highlighting not just her personal achievement but also a broader cultural presence.
