Mumbai, Aug 7: Actress Alaya F took to social media on Thursday to share a heartfelt reflection on her enduring emotional bond with New York City, describing it as both “heartwarming” and “heart-wrenching.” Her post, accompanied by a series of vibrant photos, captured the essence of a trip that left a lasting impact on her.
“I Always Return a Little Transformed”
Posting on Instagram, Alaya wrote:
"New York is always heartwarming and heart-wrenching for me… No matter how long I stay, I always crave just one more day. I don’t know how to explain it, but it’s almost like the city calls me back when I need it the most. Something in me always shifts in New York and I always return home a little transformed. This trip was so so special and I can’t wait for the city to call me back again."

The candid note revealed the actress’s deep connection to the city, which she says consistently brings about subtle but meaningful personal shifts.
A Glimpse into Her NYC Getaway
Alaya’s post included snapshots of her exploring the city, enjoying meals, and soaking in the NYC summer vibe. Among the standout images was one of her posing in a bikini, adding a splash of glamour to her travel diary. She also shared food photos and candid moments with friends from a recent night out, capturing the energy and spontaneity of her trip.
From ‘Jawaani Jaaneman’ to the Present
Alaya F, who made her Bollywood debut in 2020 with Jawaani Jaaneman alongside Saif Ali Khan and Tabu, continues to grow both personally and professionally. Reflecting on her debut, she once shared:
"Jawaani Jaaneman will always be the most special film of my career. It was my debut, and that alone makes it unforgettable. But beyond that, everything about it felt perfect—the character, the cast, the director, and the entire experience of shooting it."
As she shares glimpses of her life off-screen, it’s clear Alaya F values not only her creative journey but also the personal moments that shape her — with New York playing a recurring role in that story.
