Mumbai: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt, who made her grand debut with Karan Johar’s ‘Student Of The Year’, is considered as one of the most bankable stars in the industry today.
After Aishwarya Rai, Sonakshi Sinha and others, actress Wamiqa Gabbi opened up about the support Alia received from Karan throughout her career and also expressed her desire to “steal” the Dharma production’s head honcho from the ‘Jigra’ actress.
When asked what she would like to steal from Alia, Wamiqa replied, “Karan Johar.”
Further, explaining the reason behind it, she told Nayandeep Rakshit, “Because he has been her biggest supporter, and I think to have someone that powerful, talented and in that position — and to have that love that you share with that person, to have that person in your life — isn’t that a beautiful thing?”
She added that she’d like to steal Ananya Panday’s skin, Keerthy Suresh’s humility, Varun Dhawan’s energy, Shah Rukh Khan’s legacy, and Kriti Sanon’s height.
Soon, the Reddit users shared that Wamiqa was too bold to say this.
One user commented, “Ash ki beti Wamiqa has more guts than nepo chaplus (She has more guts than nepo kids).”
Another wrote, “Aishwarya, Kangana, Kriti, and now Wamiqa! Alia keeps getting exposed!”
A third user said, “Alia won’t like this compliment. Aishwarya to Aishwarya lookalike — they’re all saying the same thing.”
Another added, “It’s absolutely true though. Alia would’ve been launched by the Bhatts if not for KJo. She wouldn’t have her current career without his constant lobbying and support.”
One more commented, “Finally, a celeb said it aloud about KJo and Alia — lol.”
Earlier, Aishwarya Rai had also commented on Alia’s privileged position in Bollywood.
“I’ve said this to her also — it’s fantastic for you, the kind of support Karan has given to her from the beginning. To have that kind of establishment with you is very comforting. It’s not tough to have it laid out for you for the longest time,” Ash told Bollywood Hungama.
She added, “It’s great for you as an actor, as there is only good work and good opportunities ahead. What’s nice is she’s also doing good work along with great opportunities, which are virtually there on her lap, literally, regularly. So, it’s nice she is doing good work within that. So kudos.”
Alia will next be seen in YRF Spy Universe ‘Alpha’, which also stars Sharvari. Directed by Shiv Rawail, the film is slated for a theatrical release in December.
She is also working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Love & War’, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
Wamiqa, on the other hand, will next be seen in the Netflix series ‘Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom.’
