Alia Bhatt Slams Trolls Saying If You Do Not Like Me, Do Not Watch Me

It
seems
Alia
Bhatt
does
not
want
to
give
any
weightage
to
naysayers
who
are
hell-bent
on
trolling
her
every
single
when
they
debate
over
existence
of
nepotism
in
the
film
industry.
In
her
recent
tete-a-tete
with
a
media
portal,
when
Alia
was
asked
if
trolls
affect
her
mental
peace,
she
admitted
that
she
does
feel
bad.

She
told
Mid-day,
“I
believed
the
only
way
I
could
shut
the
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
the
work
that
you
are
respected
and
loved
for.
I
delivered
a
film
like
Gangubai.
So,
who’s
having
the
last
laugh?
At
least
until
I
deliver
my
next
flop?
For
now,
I
am
laughing!”

The

Gangubai
Kathiawadi
actress
further
said
that
she
cannot
keep
defending
herself
verbally.

“And
if
you
don’t
like
me,
don’t
watch
me.
I
can’t
help
it.
That’s
something
I
can’t
do
[anything
about].
People
have
something
to
say.
Hopefully,
I
will
prove
to
them
with
my
movies
that
I
am
actually
worth
the
space
I
occupy,” added
Alia.

In
the
same
interview,
Alia
asserted
that
even
though
she
admits
the
existence
of
nepotism
in
the
film
industry,
she
cannot
deny
the
fact
that
any
star
kid
be
only
popular
among
the
audience,
if
he/she
will
manage
to
win
their
hearts
with
his/her
performances.

“You
can
similarly
put
somebody
forward
for
a
job
in
tech,
marketing,
or
finance.
But
if
he
messes
up
that
job,
the
company
goes
into
a
loss.
[Likewise
in
films],
the
audience
is
the
biggest
barometer
for
success.
If
they
believe
you’re
worth
that
success,
they
will
give
it
to
you,”
elaborated
Alia.

With
respect
to
work,
Alia
will
next
be
seen
in

Brahmastra
and
unfortunately,
her
latest
statement
has
already
started
grabbing
eyeballs.
We
wonder
if
Brahmastra
will
face
the
repercussions
of
her
statement.
