Alia Bhatt has reacted to the debate around nepotism and privilege and has said that she acknowledges the fact and never takes her work for granted. Alia is the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan and was launched by Karan Johar in his film Student of the Year in 2012. Since then, she has featured prominently in several Dharma Productions films.
In a recent interview, Alia spoke about existence of privilege and nepotism in the industry and 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.”
Alia recently walked the MetGala 2023 in a Prabal Gurung dress. She will be next seen in Heart of Stone and Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani.
