Alia Bhatt finds Shraddha Kapoor very inspiring

There have been a lot of reports about the cold war between Alia Bhatt and Shraddha Kapoor. The buzz got fuelled when the former skipped Shraddha’s ‘Baaghi’ success party. It was also said that Alia didn’t want her alleged beau Sidharth Malhotra to sign another film with Shraddha after ‘Ek Villain’. However, Alia in a leading daily has stated that there’s nothing wrong between them and she finds Shraddha very inspiring.

The ‘2 States’ actress said, “I skipped the party because I was shooting and not because I didn’t want to be there because of Shraddha. I don’t harbour any animosity towards her. There’s nothing wrong between us. She’s a lovely girl and we are constantly in touch and have a mutual admiration society going, where we are constantly sending each other messages and pics saying the other one is looking so amazing or hot! We have that kind of relationship and vibe. Shraddha is one of those people, I can say, who has a very unique, simple and beautiful charm about her. I find her very inspiring.”

When Alia was asked if she feels insecure about films or other actresses, she said, “If you had asked me this question a couple of years ago I would have probably said yes. But I think maybe because I am in a happy place, work-wise and personally. I feel that by being insecure and competitive, you are only spreading negativity and putting out an energy around yourself which is very tangible. You can spot a jealous person from far away. I am not saying you can’t be jealous, it is natural for one to feel that emotion, like ‘I wish I could be a part of that project, or dance as well as her’, etc, but the minute you change that envy into inspiration and if you seek inspiration from things like that, it just makes you feel better. I draw inspiration, not just from my contemporary actresses but also the boys too.”

When it comes to films, Alia will next be seen in ‘Udta Punjab’ which is slated to release on 17^th June.
