Alia Bhatt recalls her reaction when she was offered ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt is currently busy promoting her upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi. Amid all, the actor has now touched upon her first reaction when Sanjay Leela Bhansali had narrated the script.

During her recent conversation with Mid Day, the Highway actor stated that she was unsure of her role as she would be able to pull it off and even wasn’t expecting such a film.

“I was scared. I was meant to do a love story with sir [Inshallah starring Salman Khan was called off]. Till that point, I hadn’t read the book [Mafia Queens of Mumbai] or known the story of Gangubai. I didn’t expect a film of this nature at all. So, when I heard the narration, I asked sir everything I feared: Do you think I can do this? Don’t you think I am a little young?

He said, ‘I will make you do it.’ It was then I told myself that there should be no scope of doubt in my head when a film like this comes my way. I had self-doubt. So, I put in all the extra effort I could. But in this case, doubt was the key to knowledge, which made me explore the extremes of what I can do with this part,” Alia was quoted saying.
