Alia Bhatt, known for her versatile and strong roles and carrying it with full confidence on-screen at a very little age, unfailingly. From starting in ‘Student Of The Year’ (2012) as a self-centered bubbly school girl to ‘Highway’ (2014) as a miserable girl, who is struck in her abusive family, then in ‘Raazi’ (2018) as a raw agent, in ‘Gully Boy’ (2019) as a rowdy girlfriend, Alia has never failed to amaze us.
Released on February 25 in theatres, no doubt, once again Alia astounds us with her role as a Mafia queen in ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’. This is the first collaboration between Alia and Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Alia has already rocked it. Though the film has faced few legal troubles before releasing, as Gangubai’s family claimed that exhibiting Gangubai as a prostitute is pure injustice and to put a hold on its release. But it couldn’t stop the film to release and ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’ has earned immense acclaim from the audiences, as well as critics from various reputed channels.
