Alia Bhatt, in her latest interview with a magazine, reacted to the debate around privilege and nepotism in film industry.
Alia Bhatt recently reacted to the debate around nepotism and privilege in the film industry in an interview with a leading magazine. The Gangubai Kathiawadi actress acknowledged it and called it a reason why she never takes her work for granted.
While speaking with Harper’s Bazaar Arabia about the existence of privilege and nepotism in Bollywood, Alia said, “It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it’s possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person. And I compare my dreams to another person’s dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody’s dreams are the same, everybody’s desire is the same. So I completely understand where that conversation comes from.”
“The only thing I can say is that I acknowledge the fact that I have gotten that head start. I acknowledge the fact that I do have that privilege, which is why I give 100 per cent every day and I never take my work for granted. The only thing I can do is keep my head down and keep working,” said the actress who often gets targeted on social media when it comes to this topic.
On the work front, Alia Bhatt’s last release was Ayan Mukerji’s big spectacle, Brahmastra Part One: Shiva in which she was paired opposite her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor. The actress will next be seen in Karan Johar’s upcoming directorial, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani alongside Ranveer Singh, Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. She also has Farhan Akhtar’s Jee Le Zaraa in her kitty.
Alia is also all set to make her Hollywood debut with Heart Of Stone which also stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
