Preity Zinta and Alia Bhatt

Bollywood actress Preity Zinta has stepped in to protect Alia Bhatt. Two of them share a bond since Alia Bhatt played the younger version of Preity in ‘Sanghursh’. Well Alia Bhatt has been getting ridiculed on social network for her IQ. It happened soon after her appearance on Koffee With Karan where during the rapid fire, she blurted out that Prithiviraj Chauhan was the President of India.

As per sources, Alia kept mum but she has found voice of support from the most unlikely person Preity Zinta. Prety said, “She played mini me in Sanghursh. She was about seven years old. I remember on the sets she would keep staring at me with huge eyes! Finally, I had to tell her ‘Darling, just blink!’ because she was so cute. Even then she wanted to be an actress. From then to now I have seen her going to the gym, running, and training. Now that she’s worked hard and become successful people make fun of her. They have these Alia Bhatt jokes, saying all kinds of rubbish – why are they doing this? Only because she’s a successful and attractive girl? If she wasn’t that, and hadn’t given good performances nobody would have cared about her? Instead of applauding her in her first three movies, people on the internet are fully destroying her by saying all sorts of nasty things!”

Preity further added that, “What has she done to harm anyone? She worked hard in her profession and earned a name for herself. She didn’t win a lottery or steal anything from your father’s bank account – she’s done you no harm but yet you want to bring her down by saying nasty things to her. People should just stop this nonsense!”

Well Alia now rest assured as when fiery Preity’s ire is aroused no one is brave to face it.
