Alia Bhatt responds to ‘BKD’ criticism

Since the release of ‘Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ last week, the story has taken a few hits from the audiences. There have been people not taking kindly to Varun Dhawan’s character “stalking” Alia Bhatt’s in the film. However, the latter has responded and clarified.

“No matter what I do there’ll always be people who disapprove and express their dislike vocally. My father(filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt) calls it an occupational hazard. I’ve learnt to live with criticism early in my career. I see it as a chance to improve myself,” said Bhatt, according to SKJ.

On remarks that Dhawan plays a stalker, Bhatt was frank in reply, “No, he doesn’t play a stalker. Badri is not stalking Vaidehi. From the beginning we were very clear on this. Varun wouldn’t play a stalker. And I wouldn’t encourage that kind of attention. Yes the couple have their issues. But she is in love with him all the same”.

Bhatt also said that she uncomfortable playing a runaway bride, “I kept telling our director Shashank Khaitan, how could she do this? But I guess my character Vaidehi had her dreams. Maybe her timing to fly with her dreams sucked. Hota hai”.
