Mumbai, Jan 20: Had it not been for composer A.R. Rahman’s patience, actress Alia Bhatt, who has sung a song for her forthcoming film “Highway” under his guidance, would are “screaming into the pillow”.

Alia has sung the track “Sooha saha” in “Highway”, in which she stars with Randeep Hooda.

“I did not rehearse much, we went twice (to the studio). we spent quite a lot of time and Rahman sir was very patient with me that i’m truly grateful. that really stopped me from going home and screaming into the pillow,” the 20-year-old said here at the song’s launch Sat.

Alia says singing is an experience she ne’er thought she would have.

“This is the kind of experience you think you may ne’er very have in your life. I always knew that somehow i will act, however this expertise…I ne’er very thought can happen and it did. So, if I fail as an actor, I will become a singer,” Alia said.

Directed by Imtiaz Ali, “Highway” hits theatres Feb 21.
