Alia Bhatt on not winning National Award: Didn’t feel bad, I am not going anywhere

One lady who shined bright with her performance last year is undoubtedly Alia Bhatt. She proved her mettle with her flawless acting in films like ‘Udta Punjab’, ‘Dear Zindagi’ and ‘Kapoor & Sons’. For all the three films, Alia received critical acclaim. Especially the way she adapted to her character in ‘Udta Punjab’, Alia received praises from all corners. With this some people were left disappointed when Alia did not win a National Award this year.

Akshay Kumar won his first National Award for his performance in ‘Rustom’ and people did expect Alia to win an award too. But her fans were left disappointed. Well, so for all those who are a little heartbroken, here’s a message from Alia.

At a recent event when someone expressed empathy for Alia not winning the award, the beautiful actress said, “Please don’t feel bad. I am not going anywhere. There is lot of time. I did not feel bad so even you don’t feel bad about it.”

“It’s a moment to celebrate as Hindi and Marathi cinema won so many awards and it’s a very big moment to celebrate talent,” she added further.

Now that’s the spirit! Talking about her films, Alia will next be seen in Ayan Mukerji’s film co-starring Ranbir Kapoor.
