During a media interaction at the Zee Cine awards 2023 press conference recently, Alia Bhatt was asked whether the success of SRK's Pathaan, Gangubai Kathiawadi, and Brahmastra was an answer to the social media trolls as all three films faced boycott calls on social media platforms for various reasons.
¡°I don¡¯t think we have so much aggression in us like that. We are very grateful to be working and living our dream on a day-to-day basis. And we believe that we belong to the audience and the audience can say whatever they want about us. As long as we are entertaining them we will do our very best," Alia Bhatt responded as per the media outlet.
