She's nice to her fans. Seems down to earth. No attention seeking behavior like "Airport looks" & "Cleavage + Yoga Pants" Gym look. Doesn't disrespect anyone. No overactive PR. All her co stars only have good things to say about her from the biggest stars to absolute newcomers. Can act pretty damn well. No affairs to keep in the news. Is she not supposed to work?
I'm sure there's a reason. Just wondering what it is or is it just insecure fans of other actors/actresses. In which case, jalte raho đ
Her entire career and stardom is heavily curated by her PR and KJo/Dharma. You donât become Meryl Streep after Highway flopped without a highly aggressive PR, so much so that someone of Randeep Hoodaâs caliber was completely sidelined.
Did you watch last season of KWK? Karan Johar called her the definition talent and basically labeled her the absolute best at everything. Meanwhile reviews of Sadak2 and Brahmstra, and to an extent Kalank, showed that sheâs not as talented as sheâs made out to be. Sheâs only as talented as the script and/or director is good. And she and/or KJo have infamously taken roles away from others. Sheâs arrogant and tone deaf enough to sit on National TV, across from Deepikaâs husband, and say that SLB has done 3 movies with Deepika he has to do 4 with me. Or say on camera that the biggest struggle of her career was to tell KJo Iâll be very upset with you if you donât give me Kalank. From the moment she started dating Ranbir it was all over her social media which then automatically become news in the entertainment media. So while it was only with one person (no affair etc) she definitely used her relationship and personal life as a PR angle to put her name out there in association with Ranbir Kapoor. It was out there for everyone to see for about 4 years.
I will say this, I think one of her real strengths is that when sheâs on set sheâs very professional. So even when she snatches a role from others like she did with DZ and it causes conflict between the director and producer so much so that the latter threatens to shelve the whole thing, once on set sheâll win them over as she did with Gauri Shinde.
Everything about Alia Bhatt is artificial and inorganic and heavily Karan Johar manufactured. So when sheâs presented as something great that Bollywood has never seen before it becomes very đđđ and most people here end up having a âBitch please!â kind of reaction.
