‘Inshallah’: Alia Bhatt reacts to criticism for being paired opposite Salman Khan

Alia Bhatt is currently on the purple patch of her career. Like last year this year too the actress has some good movies in her kitty like ‘Kalank’, ‘Brahmastra’, ‘RRR’ and ‘Inshallah’. Talking about ‘Inshallah’, the ‘Raazi’ actor will be seen opposite Salman Khan and the movie will be helmed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

When it was announced that Alia is paired opposite Salman in ‘Inshallah’, there was a lot of flak due to her pairing with Salman. While there were some users who expressed their happiness to see Alia opposite Salman, there were a few who criticized their pairing for the age gap. Now, during a recent interview to Pinkvilla, Alia has opened up on it.

When asked about the criticism, Alia said that she didn’t get any criticism. She said,  “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.”

This is Alia’s first movie with the ‘Dabangg’ actor and her happiness knows no bounds.

Currently, she is gearing up for her upcoming release ‘Kalank’ that is hitting the screens on April 17. Produced by Dharma Productions and helmed by Abhishek Varman, the movie also has Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur in pivotal roles.
