"I Do Have...": Alia Bhatt's Honest Take On Nepotism Debate
Alia Bhatt has often been criticised for being a nepo baby and the debate around nepotism never seems to leave the actress alone.
Ever since making her debut in Karan Johar's 'Student of the Year', actress Alia Bhatt has come a long way and she has given memorable performances in movies like 'Udta Punjab', 'Darlings', 'Highway' and 'Gangubai Kathiawadi'. However, the actress is often criticised for being a nepo baby and the debate around nepotism never seems to leave the actress alone. For the unversed, Alia Bhatt is the daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and actress Soni Razdan.
Alia Bhatt was given a big launch alongside Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra by uber-popular producer and director Karan Johar.
“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," Alia Bhatt said in an interview with Bazaar.
“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," she added.
Meanwhile, on the film front, Alia Bhatt had a remarkable 2022, with movies such as 'Gangubai Kathiawadi' and ‘Darlings’ winning her accolades.
On personal front, she got married to actor Ranbir Kapoor and they welcomed their daughter Raha in November 2022.
The Bollywood actress will soon also make her international debut with Netflix’s ‘Heart of Stone’, with Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
