Alia Bhatt REACTS To Netizens Comparing Her To Kangana Ranaut And Vidya Balan After Watching Her Performance In Gangubai Kathiawadi; 'It Doesn't Matter To Me'
Alia Bhatt opened up about comparisons with Kangana Ranaut and Vidya Balan
Alia Bhatt has been making headlines ever since the trailer of her upcoming film 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' came out. Alia plays the titular role in the film. In a recent interview, Alia was asked about the backlash that her casting in the film initially attracted, particularly the comparisons made to Kangana Ranaut and Vidya Balan. She told Koimoi, "I have not heard any of this."
The actress added that Sanjay's decision to cast her must not be second-guessed. "I think, yeah, people must have suggested casting. But I feel like one should not really get into... A director who has been working for 25 years obviously knows whom to cast as their main lead."
She continued, "I was ok with people not thinking that I was right for the part because that is their own perspective and honestly, that doesn't matter to me as long as the director thinks I am right for the part."

"Like you mentioned, I proved them wrong. If you are feeling that perspective has changed after just watching the teaser, trailer, and song, then it will change even more after watching the whole film. The portrayal of this character is purely a fresh perspective that has taken and worked upon for two years by sir, me and the whole team. I don't think there was a reference point because I don't think there has been a character like this even in our Hindi films," she added.
As many know, Kangana has been quite critical of Alia and has also called her 'mediocre' in the past.
A couple of days ago, a video of a little girl imitating Alia Bhatt's Gangubai Kathiawadi dialogue had gone viral. Kangana had shared the video on Instagram and wrote, "Should this child imitate a sex worker with a beedi in her mouth and crude and obscene dialogues? Look at her body language, is it ok to sexualize her at this age? There are hundreds of other children who are being used similarly."
