Aishwarya Rai Bachchan created a name for herself in the entertainment business through pure hard work and commitment. She was one of the few who broke into the film industry on her own. As one of the most influential personalities in India, despite her sufferings, she became an inspiration for many. Today, footage from an old interview in which she discusses Alia Bhatt is going viral.

While praising Alia for demonstrating her worth, Ash also commented about Karan Johar’s unfailing support for his ‘student’ in the video, which was shared on Twitter. She stated how she told the Highway actress about it. She added that she attributes the younger actress’s knowledge of her “establishment with you.”

In a clip that is now going viral Aishwarya could be heard saying that Alia had everything laid out for the longest time. As an actor, it is great when one knows that there are only good opportunities laid out for you ahead. Aishwarya further added that Alia Bhatt has been doing a great job but there are also regular good opportunities on her lap, “great opportunities which are virtually there literally on her lap, regularly,” she said.

As the video went viral on social media, people had different feelings about what Ash was saying. While many people backed Aishwarya, others derided her Abhishek Bachchan’s failure. Even Alia Bhatt supporters showed up to support her and strike out at the trolls.

On the professional front, Alia has been reveling in the success of her films Gangubai Kathiawadi, RRR, and Brahmastra Part 1. She is now working on Karan Johar’s comeback film Rani Aur Rocky Ki Prem Kahani, Farhan Akhtar’s directorial Jee Le Zara with Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and her Hollywood debut with Heart Of Stone. Aishwarya, on the other hand, will next be seen in Ponniyin Selvan’s sequel.
