Alia Bhatt on her Gully Boy character Safeena: She wasn't toxic

2019 started for Alia Bhatt on a good note as her first release of this - Gully Boy was a superhit at the box office. Directed by Zoya Akhtar, the film also starred Ranveer Singh in the lead role. In Gully Boy, Alia played the role of Ranveer's girlfriend, Safeena. Safeena was a very possessive character who had anger issues such that she would end up hitting people.

While many loved her performance, some thought her character was violent. In an interview with Mid Day, Alia Bhatt was asked her views on people calling Safeena violent. The Raazi actress said that she was her character as wild and that was liberating. Alia added that she doesn't endorse violence but she was real. Bhatt said, "What else would happen to someone who has been pigeonholed? She built up a lot of negative energy inside her, but as a person, she wasn't toxic."

Alia added that the traits of her character look similar to a toxic person as she was manipulative, but she also called Safeena honest and colourful with her heart in the right place. She said, "Minus the violence, she was a top character."

Well so she kinda agrees she had traits of toxicity but she doesn't think Safeena was fully toxic buy a good person by heart.
So isme news jaisa kiya hai be😆

😆 So she was violent and manipulative and literally broke a bottle on someone's head and she wasn't toxic with a capital T? What else is the definition of toxic?!


Imagine physically hurting two people and then saying 'My heart is in a good place' Nope. Safeena was toxic and yes she lived a very restricted life and she deserved better but that's no excuse for her behavior. People like her resort to violence at every instance and need therapy to be functional adults. The fact that she is supposed to be a budding doctor with that kind of mental framework is scary.
