Alia Bhatt responds to Kangana Ranaut's comment about Gangubai Kathiawadi with a Bhagavad Gita quote

At a promotional event in Kolkata on Monday, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt launched a song “Meri Jaan '' from her upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi. The film, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and based on a chapter from writer S Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai, stars Bhatt as Gangubai, one of Kamathipura’s most powerful, loved, and respected madams during the 1960s.

During the launch event, the Raazi (2018) actress was asked to react to Kangana Ranaut's latest Instagram post in which she criticised Gangubai Kathiawadi. On that, Alia simply responded with a quote from the Bhagavad Gita. "Lord Krishna had said in the Gita that inaction is in action. That's all I want to say," the 28-year-old actor said.

Earlier, Kangana had shared on Instagram, “This Friday 200cr will be burnt to ashes at the box office ... for a papa (movie mafia daddy) ki pari (who likes to keep a British passport) because papa wants to prove that romcom bimbo can act... biggest drawback of the film is wrong casting...yeh nahi sudhrenge (these people won't change) no wonder screens are going to South and Hollywood films ... Bollywood is destined for doom jab tak movie mafia has power.”

“Bollywood mafia daddy papa Jo who has single-handedly ruined the work culture in the film industry has emotionally manipulated many big directors and forced his products of mediocrity on their cinematic brilliance, another example will be following soon after this release... people need to stop entertaining him, in this Friday release even a big hero and greatest director are the new victims of his manipulations,” she added in another post.
