Joining the popular “2016 rewind” trend on social media, the actress shared a set of rare and unseen photos from her personal collection on Instagram. These throwback pictures gave fans a closer look at her life, friendships and work from nearly a decade ago.
In her post, Alia mentioned that she began 2016 feeling calm and grounded, even though the year later became a major turning point professionally. During that time she delivered several successful films and strengthened her position as one of the top actresses in Bollywood. Looking back memories clearly hold a special place in her heart.

The photos included familiar faces from the film industry such as Varun Dhawan, Sidharth Malhotra, Aditya Roy Kapur, and others. One picture that stood out showed Alia with Shah Rukh Khan, whom she affectionately called her “favourite co-star.” The two worked together in Dear Zindagi, which released in 2016 and received a lot of love for its emotional storytelling.
The post also featured unseen moments from the Dream Team Tour, a popular Bollywood concert series held in the United States in 2016. These shows brought together several stars and offered fans energetic performances on an international stage. Along with work memories, Alia also shared a personal highlight from that year attending Coldplay’s concert in Berlin.
Alia’s throwback comes at a time when many people online are embracing mid-2010s nostalgia. Fashion, music, and memories from that period are making a comeback, with many calling it a return to “new 2016.”
