After Aishwarya Rai, Wamiqa Gabbi weighs in on Karan Johar's unbridled support for Alia Bhatt; says she wants to ‘steal' him: ‘To have someone that powerful…'
A few years ago, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan spoke about Alia Bhatt's success and how Karan Johar had been a constant and massive support to her. Now, in a recent interaction, Wamiqa Gabbi has opened up about the same. The Jubilee actor went on to say that she 'wants to steal Karan from Alia Bhatt.' While talking to Nayandeep Rakshit, Wamiqa was asked what she would like to steal from other actresses. When it came to Alia Bhatt, Wamiqa responded with, 'Karan Johar.' She, however, explained her reason and shared that she would love to have the support of somebody as 'powerful' as Karan Johar in the film industry. She said, 'Because he has been her biggest supporter, and I think to have someone that powerful, talented and in that position—and to have that love that you share with that person, to have that person in your life—isn't that a beautiful thing?' Years ago, Aishwarya Rai had also spoken about Karan Johar's unbridled support for Alia Bhatt. She had said in an interaction with Bollywood Hungama, 'I've said this to her also—it's fantastic for you, the kind of support Karan has given to her from the beginning. To have that kind of establishment with you is very comforting. It's not tough to have it laid out for you for the longest time.' She added how Alia only had good opportunities and the best projects to choose from, all thanks to Karan. She said, 'It's great for you as an actor, as there is only good work and good opportunities ahead. What's nice is she's also doing good work along with great opportunities, which are virtually there on her lap, literally, regularly. So, it's nice she is doing good work within that. So kudos.' Karan Johar launched Alia Bhatt, daughter of director Mahesh Bhatt and actor Soni Razdan, in his 2012 film Student Of The Year. He has backed most of her hit projects like 2 States, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania, Kapoor & Sons, Dear Zindagi, Badrinath Ki Dulhania, Raazi, Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva and Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Alia also stepped into production with Karan, and they jointly produced her most recent film Jigra.

After Aishwarya Rai, Wamiqa Gabbi highlights Karan Johar's support for Alia Bhatt in Bollywood; Reddit calls her 'gutsy'
Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt made her grand debut with Karan Johar's Student Of The Year and rose to fame with films like Highway, 2 States, Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania and more. She is now considered one of the most bankable stars in the industry. Previously, several Bollywood actors such as Aishwarya Rai, Sonakshi Sinha and others have spoken about the support Alia received from Karan Johar throughout her journey — and now, Wamiqa Gabbi has also expressed her desire to "steal" Karan from Alia. (Also Read: Wamiqa Gabbi admits pay disparity exists in Bollywood: 'Reasoning is that a male actor can pull more audience') In an interview with Nayandeep Rakshit, when asked what she would like to steal from Alia, Wamiqa replied, "Karan Johar," and explained: "Because he has been her biggest supporter, and I think to have someone that powerful, talented and in that position — and to have that love that you share with that person, to have that person in your life — isn't that a beautiful thing?" She further added that she'd like to steal Ananya Panday's skin, Keerthy Suresh's humility, Varun Dhawan's energy, Shah Rukh Khan's legacy, and Kriti Sanon's height. While some Reddit users were reminded of Aishwarya Rai's past remarks about Alia and Karan Johar, others thought Wamiqa was bold to say this. One user commented, 'Ash ki beti Wamiqa has more guts than nepo chaplus (She has more guts than nepo kids).' Another wrote, 'Aishwarya, Kangana, Kriti, and now Wamiqa! Alia keeps getting exposed!' A third user said, 'Alia won't like this compliment. Aishwarya to Aishwarya lookalike — they're all saying the same thing.' Another added, 'It's absolutely true though. Alia would've been launched by the Bhatts if not for KJo. She wouldn't have her current career without his constant lobbying and support.' One more comment read, 'Finally, a celeb said it aloud about KJo and Alia — lol.' Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had also commented on Alia's privileged position. She said, 'I've said this to her also — it's fantastic for you, the kind of support Karan has given to her from the beginning. To have that kind of establishment with you is very comforting. It's not tough to have it laid out for you for the longest time.' She added, 'It's great for you as an actor, as there is only good work and good opportunities ahead. What's nice is she's also doing good work along with great opportunities, which are virtually there on her lap, literally, regularly. So, it's nice she is doing good work within that. So kudos.' Alia will next be seen in Alpha, a film from the YRF Spy Universe, which also stars Sharvari. Directed by Shiv Rawail, the film is slated for a theatrical release in December. She also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal, in the pipeline. Wamiqa, on the other hand, will next be seen in the Netflix series Rakt Brahmand: The Bloody Kingdom.

The movie scene of Main Tera Hero went viral when a BTS video from the sets of the film was shared. The clip shows Varun and Nargis performing a kiss scene. When the director asked him to cut the scene short, he continued the scene even after the director said, 'Cut… Cut… Cut!' After Varun stopped kissing Nargis, the crew laughed out loud, making him embarrassed.

Meet first actor to give 11 back to back hits, was set to break Rajesh Khanna's record, but one film ruined everything, he is…, film is…
Meet first actor to give 11 back to back hits, was set to break Rajesh Khanna's record, but one film ruined everything, he is…, film is… This star kid was set to break the record set by legendary actor Rajesh Khanna, making a phenomenal name in Bollywood, one film ruined everything. Do you recognise this actor? By Shawn Dass Edited by Shawn Dass Advertisement This star actor made his Bollywood debut in 2012 with Karan Johar's film 'Student of the Year' alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. He gave 11 consecutive hit films in the first 6 years of his career. There was a time when he was expected to break Rajesh Khanna's record of 17 consecutive hit films, but after a film his career took a back seat. However, he is the only star kid to give 11 consecutive hit films. Do you recognise which actor we are talking about? The actor in question is none other than Varun Dhawan. For the unversed, Varun graduated in Business Studies from Nottingham Trent University and began his career in films as an assistant director to Karan Johar in 'My Name is Khan' (2010). He made his acting debut in 2012 and subsequently became a successful star with several films, including 'Main Tera Hero' (2014), 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania' (2014), 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' (2017), 'Dilwale' (2015), 'Dishoom' (2016), 'Judwaa 2' (2017), 'ABCD 2' (2015), and 'Sui Dhaaga' (2018). Varun Dhawan gave 11 consecutive hits in the first 6 years of his career from 2012 to 2018. There was a time when he was compared to superstars like Rajesh Khanna, who gave 17 consecutive hits in his career. It was the film Kalank that ruined the streak of 11 consecutive hits for Varun Dhawan.

Even though he could not break Rajesh Khanna's record, he definitely equaled Shah Rukh Khan's record of 11 consecutive hit films. Varun Dhawan was last seen in Baby John with Keerthy Suresh and Vamika Gabbi. Salman Khan also did a small cameo in this film. However, the film failed to attract the audience at the first place.
