Actress Alia Bhatt, who has been the talk of the town lately has revealed her biggest fear. In a recent conversation with the local media, the 'Dear Zindagi' actress said the one thing she fears the most is failure. While she certainly hasn't faced it yet, where her career is concerned, she stated she is very competitive by nature.

"I have feared failure since I was in the fourth grade. I lost a race and that's the only race that I lost in school. I couldn't believe it and I kept blaming the race for feeling that way. I was so unhappy that I told myself that it was a stupid book balancing race, it wasn't even a real race, that's why I lost. It's not that I have not seen defeat, I have, which is why I am very competitive."

Also talking about her sister Shaheen's battle with depression since the age of 13, Alia said that her sister had opened up to their family about her depression some time back and has been attending therapy sessions. She added that since Shaheen also suffers from insomnia, they have spent several sleepless nights talking. She almost apologetically stated she "can't help Shaheen get over the depression" despite their close bond and added she will always be by her side to support her unconditionally.
