Alia Bhatt is busy promoting her upcoming film ‘Darlings’ which is all set to release on Netflix on August 5. This film is her first-ever produced film.

She recently opened up about how she faced casual sexism in the industry and how it went unnoticed. In an exclusive conversation with Mojo Story, the actor said, ‘When I think back now because I am so much more aware of it, it just makes so much sense as ‘oh my god that was such a sexist comment, or that I was basically a subject of extreme misogyny in that moment. That’s why now I am so much more sensitive’.

‘It’s not about that, just random things like ‘don’t be so sensitive, To hell with you, I am not being sensitive, and even if I am PMSing so the hell what? You were born because women were PMSing. It’s not like it has happened with me actively, but there is a certain understanding of how you should hide a lot of things as a woman,’ she added.

Besides ‘Darlings’, Alia Bhatt is awaiting the release of ‘Brahmastra’ co-starring her husband Ranbir Kapoor. The Ayan Mukerji directorial will release in theatres in September.
