Alia Bhatt said she was grateful for playing the role of Sita in 'RRR'.
All is well between Alia Bhatt and SS Rajamouli.

Nearly two days after the rift rumours started doing the rounds, the Bollywood actress had denied any tension between her and 'Rise Roar Revolt' ('RRR') director.

Terming the reports 'randomness', the 29-year-old penned a note on her Instagram Story and shared that she was never upset with the team. However, she did confirm that she had deleted the 'RRR' related posts from her Instagram profile. The reason for that was because she wanted to free-up her Insta grid.


"I sincerely request everyone not to make assumptions based on something as random as an Instagram grid. I ALWAYS realign old video posts from my profile (Instagram) grid because I prefer it to look less cluttered," she clarified.

Earlier this week, reports suggested that Bhatt had unfollowed the 'Baahubali' on Instagram because she was unhappy with the limited screen space in the final cut of the film.

After the reports of the rift spread like wildfire, the actress quickly decided to add Rajamouli to her friends' list.

"I am eternally grateful that I got to be a part of the world of RRR. I loved playing Sita. I loved being directed by Rajamouli Sir, I loved working with Tarak and Charan - I loved every single thing about my experience on this film," she added.

Bhatt also said, in her statement, that she is clarifying this because the film-maker spent years of effort and energy to bring 'RRR' to life. "I refuse to let any misinformation around the film and experience slide," she concluded.

Rajamouli's magnum opus was released in theatres on March 25, and has shattered all box-office records. Experts believe it will cross the worldwide gross of Rs 700 crore this week.
