Alia Bhatt doesn’t regret doing ‘Shaandaar’

Alia Bhatt has had continuous successful films since her debut in Karan Johar’s ‘Student of the Year’ (2012). Critics have also appreciated Bhatt’s acting in her recent films: ‘2 states’ (2014), ‘Highway’ (2014), and ‘Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania’ (2014).��Despite such success, her latest film ‘Shaandaar’ (2015), co-starring Shahid Kapoor, was the actress’s first film that didn’t do well.

She told Hindustan Times, “I will never regret doing that film. But honestly, for the first few days, I wasn’t good at all. I was feeling extremely low. But now, I am fine and happy that it happened. Now, I know how it feels to have a film not do well. I have got a lot of love and support, especially from my fans. At that time, it was important for me to take a break to understand things. It’s important to take some time off for yourself. Otherwise, you keep pretending, “Oh, I don’t feel bad”, but it’s a fact that it’s not the best feeling in the world.”

It remains to be seen whether Bhatt’s forthcoming films, ‘Kapoor and Sons’ and ‘Udta Punjab’ fare well.
