Sanjay leela bhansali has promised to do 4 movies with Alia. Well lucky girl but why does she have to point out that Deepika has done only 3 movies so far with SLB ?

Why Alia always has to be so mean ?
Karan Johar said the definition of Talent is Alia Bhatt. But we all truly know that Alia Bhatt is the definition of pure Privilege. #aliabhatt #KoffeeWithKaran #kwk #KaranJohar #DeepikaPadukone #deepika #KatrinaKaif #RanveerSingh #KareenaKapoorKhan #PriyankaChopra pic.twitter.com/nJyn2LdZYH
