Aishwarya Rai spoke about Karan Johar’s support to Alia Bhatt.
Aishwarya also praised Alia for her work and added that the actress has shown her skills in various movies.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s old clip, in which the actress spoke about Alia Bhatt, has resurfaced on social media. In the video, which has now gone viral on Reddit, Aishwarya said that Alia Bhatt gets only “good opportunities and work” in her lap because of the support she gets from filmmaker Karan Johar. She also praised Alia for her work and added that the actress has shown her skills in various movies.
In the video, Aishwarya said, “I have said this to her (Alia Bhatt) also, ‘It’s fantastic for you’. The kind of support Karan (Johar) has given to her from the beginning, and to have that kind of an establishment with you is very comforting because you know it is not tough. You can have it all laid out for the longest time. And she smiled. It’s great where you as an actor know there are only good opportunities ahead.”
“But what’s nice is she (Alia Bhatt) is also doing good work, along with great opportunities which are virtually there literally on her lap, regularly,” added Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The video is from the time when Aishwarya was promoting her 2018 film Fanney Khan, co-starring Anil Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao.
Netizens took to the comments section to express their hot takes. Some lauded Aishwarya’s boldness for expressing her opinions out loud but a section of users said that she took a “sly dig” at Alia Bhatt.
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt was honoured with the title of ‘Best Actress In A Leading Role (Female)’ for her remarkable role in Karan Johar’s directorial venture Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, at a recent awards show. She is currently busy shooting her upcoming film Jigra and has also signed Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love And War, opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
