Alia Bhatt, who is on the top of her game, has reacted to criticism around her onscreen pairing with much older Salman Khan in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next, Inshallah. Speaking to Pinkvilla, she said that she received no criticism about the pairing; instead she saw a lot of excitement coming her way.
She was quoted as saying: “I didn’t get any criticism. I think I got a lot of excitement. I think speculation is also a form of excitement in a way and why shouldn’t there be speculation. There should be and at least I am not bothered by that and I don’t think Salman or Bhansali sir are bothered. I think this is a filmmaker who has given us very good films, he is someone who we all are very fond of and I think we should just trust him with his vision.”
After days of speculation, it was announced last month that Alia and Salman would star in Bhansali’s next, a development not necessarily universally well received. Many of Twitter users expressed their disappointment and were quick in digging out an old picture of the two together when Alia was but a child. Alia remains unfazed by all the talk, so are Salman and Bhansali.
