In a recent interview with chat show host Siddharth Kannan, actor Randeep Hooda opened up about why he stood up for Alia Bhatt in 2019 when she was unfairly targeted by Kangana Ranaut. Randeep, who shared screen space with Alia in Imtiaz Ali’s Highway, revealed that he had developed a spiritual bond with the talented actress during the filming of the movie.
Randeep expressed his admiration for Alia’s willingness to take on new challenges and try different things in her career. He felt that Kangana’s criticism of Alia’s performance in Gully Boy was unjustified and decided to defend her against the unfair attack. Randeep emphasized the importance of supporting fellow actors and colleagues in the industry, especially when they are being targeted for reasons that he deemed unwarranted.
Kangana had previously criticized Alia’s work in Gully Boy, calling it ‘mediocre’ and questioning the praise she received for her performance. However, Alia responded gracefully to Kangana’s comments, stating that she respected Kangana’s opinion and preferred to focus on her own work rather than engage in a public feud.
After Randeep publicly supported Alia on social media, the actress expressed her gratitude for his backing and continued to focus on her career and personal growth. The incident highlighted the importance of solidarity and mutual respect among actors in the film industry, as well as the need to uplift and encourage each other in the face of criticism and negativity.
