Actor Alia Bhatt has reacted to the debate around nepotism once again and said that she acknowledges the fact that she has gotten the head start and has that privilege. She said that she never takes her work for granted and gives her 100 percent every day.
In an interview with Harper's Bazaar Arabia, Alia said, ‘It has definitely come up a lot in conversation over the last couple of years. The long and short of it is, I empathise. I understand that it’s possibly been easier for me to get through the door than maybe the next person.
And I compare my dreams to another person’s dreams: no dream is bigger or smaller, or more intense. Everybody’s dreams are the same, everybody’s desire is the same. So I completely understand where that conversation comes from. The only thing I can say is that I acknowledge the fact that I have gotten that head start. I acknowledge the fact that I do have that privilege, which is why I give 100 per cent every day and I never take my work for granted. The only thing I can do is keep my head down and keep working.’
Alia, the daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt and actor Soni Razdan, had reacted to the nepotism debate earlier as well. In a previous interview, she said that she had not got her first break because of her parents but after auditioning for Karan Johar.
Alia Bhatt made her Bollywood debut in 2012 with Karan Johar's ‘Student of the Year’ alongside Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra.
Alia Bhatt recently made her debut at the Met Gala red carpet in a white Prabal Gurung gown. She will be making her Hollywood debut with ‘Heart of Stone’, co-starring Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan.
She has Karan Johar's ‘Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani’ with Ranveer Singh and Farhan Akhtar's ‘Jee Le Zaraa’ in the pipeline.
