‘Two actresses can never be friends’ – haven’t we heard this statement, time and again? However, Bollywood’s sweetheart
Alia Bhatt does not subscribe to this idea. In a recent interview with
Grazia India
, the actress opened up on friendships in the industry. And guess who is one of her closest friends in B-town? It’s none other than
Katrina Kaif.
Speaking of her support system in the industry, the ‘
Badrinath Ki Dulhania’ actress said, “I do have close friendships in Bollywood. It’s a cliché that they don’t exist. I am friends with Ayan (Mukerji) and Abhishek (Varman) – both directors are my best friends. Karan (Johar) is like a father to me. I am also close to and very fond of Katrina (Kaif).” The two actresses have never had the opportunity to work together but have often been seen bonding at parties. And must say, their easy camaraderie is a refreshing change of pace!
Alia
also spoke about balancing her love life with the demanding work schedules. Stating that her career is her focus at the moment, she said that one can prioritise his career and still be up for commitment. The actress added, “I am not somebody that has a fear of commitment, but that said, I also don’t want to get married right now.”
