Bollywood star Alia Bhatt who started her acting career with Karan Johar’s ‘Student of The Year’ has time and again faced criticism for her success being a product of nepotism. However, it seems like Bhatt doesn’t let negativity define her.

Her blockbusters and her craft are her way of responding to trolls and she shares that those who do not like her, may choose to not watch her at all. In a conversation with Mid Day about how actor deals with nepotism debates and trolling, she said, “There are two ways of dealing with it. One is controlled and I can prove my worth in my space. I believed only way I could shut conversation down is through my movies. So, don’t respond, don’t feel bad. Of course, I felt bad. But feeling bad is a small price to pay for work that you are respected and loved for. I shut up, went home and did my work. I delivered a film like Gangubai Kathiawadi. “ People have something to say. Hopefully, I will prove to them with my movies that I am actually worth space I occupy.” –Agencies
