Can't Be As Candid As Her: Alia Bhatt On Kangana Ranaut's 'Ranbir Kapoor Is Irresponsible' Remark

  • Can't Be As Candid As Her: Alia Bhatt On Kangana Ranaut's 'Ranbir Kapoor Is Irresponsible' Remark

Kangana Ranaut slammed actor Ranbir Kapoor for an old interview in which he had refused to comment on the political scenario of India, saying that the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor was "irresponsible."

 

Alia responded by stating that she has an opinion, but she would like to keep it to herself. The actor also mentioned that she respects Kangana for “speaking so well”.

 

Alia Bhatt said, “I definitely don’t have the ability to speak as candidly as Kangana does. I really do respect her for that. And, maybe, in a way, she is right. Sometimes we do hold back.

 

My dad also says that there are already so many opinions in the world that it can do with one less opinion. So, I have an opinion, but I’ll keep it to myself. But, kudos to her as she genuinely speaks really well.”

 

Alia was also asked about her production house. She said, “Well, I have opened my company and hopefully with that company, I shall produce films. Honestly, I am somebody who loves being an actor. I love acting, but in life, I want to do so much more.

 

I want to produce films. I won’t ever direct though. I want to work on social causes. I can do so much more with my life. This is just a beginning.”

 

Kangana was referring to Ranbir Kapoor's interview with mid-day in 2018, in which he had said: "Politics makes no difference in my life... I live a luxurious life... I don't have any issues, so who am I to comment on politics?"

 

Kangana, who was last seen in Manikarnika, will be next seen in Mental Hai Kya and then in Panga. Alia Bhatt's next film is Kalank, co-starring Varun Dhawan, while the aforementioned Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor releases later this year.
