Alia shows sorority love, congratulates Shraddha on Ek Villain

In Bollywood, catfights and rivalries among actresses are not uncommon. But it looks like the younger generation of leading ladies would rather stay away from such things.

In the latest instance of bonding between two ‘rivals’, we have got to know that Alia Bhatt reached out to Shraddha Kapoor to congratulate her on her performance in a recently released film. Since both actresses joined the film industry around the same time, they are often touted as each other’s competition.

“Alia watched Shraddha’s latest film recently and was impressed by her performance in it. So she phoned her and congratulated her,” says a source.

Apparently, both actors spoke at length about their films and career. “Alia’s call came as a pleasant surprise to her. Contrary to rumours, both of them share a cordial relationship with each other,” adds the insider. Apparently, the two actresses even bonded at their common friend Varun Dhawan’s party recently.

While Shraddha couldn’t be reached for a comment, her spokesperson confirmed the news.
