Neither Any Controversy Nor Any Comment Bothers Me: Alia Bhatt

Mumbai: Responding to a query about whether controversies affect her, Alia Bhatt said neither any controversy nor any comment bothers her adding that nothing affects her beyond a point.

Her statement comes after her upcoming film, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’, the film landed in legal trouble after Congress MLA Amin Patel filed a petition in the Bombay High Court to change the name of the film, alleging that it portrayed the Kamathipura as a red-light area while showing the Kathiawadi community in poor light.

Prior to this, a petition was filed by Gangubai’s adopted son who claimed that his “mother has been turned into a prostitute”.

In the latest conversation with ANI, Alia opened up about how she deals with such controversies.

“Neither any controversy nor any comment bothers me. I don’t think anything bothers me beyond a point. Of course, I feel like there’s a certain novelty that just a part of a film holds…whether the film is a good film or a bad film ..that doesn’t matter. The audience makes the final decision after watching the film… Anything that happens before or after can’t really change the fate,” she expressed while promoting her movie in the capital on Tuesday.

Helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ revolves around a young woman who is sold into prostitution by a lover and how she becomes a prominent and famous figure.

The film is scheduled to hit the theatres on February 25
