After Kangana’s allegations, Alia Bhatt had finally addressed the grievances by Kangana in an interview saying that if she has upset Ranaut then she will apologize to her on a personal level, despite her not having done anything.
“I hope she doesn’t dislike me and I don’t think she dislikes me. I don’t think I have done anything intentionally to upset her. If I have, I will apologize to her on a personal level,” she stated.
“But I have always said that I have admired her a lot as an actor and a person. She is very outspoken and it takes courage to be that way. I wasn’t aware of this problem or anything, I was busy with the shooting. So yes, what can I say, I don’t want to upset anybody,” she added further.
Earlier, Kangana had referred to Alia as Karan Johar’s ‘puppet’ saying: “I asked her if I can be courteous and gracious to acknowledge her requests for encouraging relevant work that she does, why is she so scared to see my film. I suggested that she grows some spine and supports an important film about woman empowerment and nationalism…if she doesn’t have a voice of her own and her existence is all about being KJo’s (Karan Johar) puppet then I don’t consider her successful.”
