Alia Bhatt has no grudge against Kangana Ranaut after she said that her performance in Gully Boy was ‘mediocre’. While speaking to a leading entertainment portal, Alia said that she respects Kangana’s work and there must have been a reason behind her opining about her Gully Boy act. Moreover, she said Kangana had also praised Alia’s work in Raazi and at this point of time, she wants to focus on her work.
“I respect Kangana’s work a lot and I respect her opinion. If she feels a particular way she must have reason to feel that way. I would rather remember how much she had praised me after watching Raazi. And I’d just like to focus on my work. Maybe she will appreciate me again if I work hard enough,” Alia told the portal.
In Zoya Akhtar’s Gully Boy, Alia starred opposite Ranveer Singh and her performance was appraised by critics while the film also fared well at the box office. During her conversation with an entertainment portal, Kangana had said that comparisons between Alia and her were “embarrassing.”
“I am embarrassed...What is there to beat in Gully Boy performance ....same snappy muh phat girl... Bollywood’s idea of a fiery girl, woman empowerment and good acting, spare me this embarrassment, please. Media have taken filmy kids love too far. Stop pampering mediocre work or else bar will never be raised,” Kangana had told the portal.
Kangana Ranaut, last seen in Manikarnika: The Queen Of Jhansi, will appear next in Mental Hai Kya and Panga.
Alia Bhatt is currently gearing up for the release of her new film Kalank, scheduled for April 17.
