In a video that is going viral, Alia is sitting on top of a double-decker bus with the paparazzi. At one point in the clip, people begin exclaiming, “Jhaad lagega (careful of the branches).” Alia, who was posing at the time, ducked. The branches stuck her head lightly, but the photographer lifted it up. Other cameramen warned that there would be more on the way, and so, Alia covered her head with one end of her saree.
Gangubai Kathiawadi, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was released in the theatres on February 25, raked in around Rs 39 crore on its opening weekend, and has received good reviews. It is also doing well overseas and has earned around $3 million.
Apart from Alia, the film features Ajay Devgn, Vijay Raaz, Seema Pahwa, and Shantanu Maheshwari. The film’s story is based on Mafia Queens of Mumbai written by S. Hussain Zaidi.
Alia Bhatt has several projects lined up, including Brahmastra with Ranbir Kapoor, Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani with Ranveer Singh, as well as Darlings and Karan Johar’s Takht that is yet to go on floors.
