Alia Bhatt speaks out about nepotism debate, says 'If you don't like me, don't watch me'

Actress Alia Bhatt loves to respond to negativity with her movies and says if someone doesn't like her, they shouldn't watch her. Alia spoke about the negativity she faced during the nepotism discussion.

Alia Bhatt told Mid Day she handles nepotism debates and trolls two ways. She said, "I can control one and prove my worth. I thought only my movies could end the conversation. I felt terrible. It's a tiny price to pay for being acknowledged and liked for my work. I stopped talking, went home, and worked. I made Gangubai Kathiawadi."



Alia Bhatt explained, "Who's laughing now? Until I flop again? I'm laughing. I use that to inspire myself. I can't keep arguing. Don't watch me if you don't like me. It's unavoidable as I cannot change what people think or say. Hopefully, my movies will show them I'm worth their time. I cannot control where I was born or who my parents were. Do people expect me to be ashamed of my father's achievement?"

Alia Bhatt was last seen in Darlings. Alia Bhatt has been promoting Brahmastra. Ayan Mukerji's film opens September 9. Alia stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Amitabh Bachchan, Mouni Roy, and Nagarjuna. Ayan's grandiose trilogy, the Astraverse, begins with Brahmastra.
