It was Independence Day yesterday and social media was drenched in the shades of the tricolour. All the Bollywood celebrities took to their respective social media handles to celebrate the 71st year of national independence and so did Alia Bhatt. She posted on Twitter “Love my country, value our freedom ❤️ And grateful to our jawans and Indian army who protect us while we sleep soundly. #HappyIndepedenceDay” [sic] All her fans wished her back and had only good things to say about the independence and the actress. But Kamaal R Khan’s brain worked in a different direction altogether. He retweeted Alia’s tweet and stated, “Your country? How? You are a British national. Tum Logon Se Hi, Toh Azaadi Mili Thi Aajke Din madam @aliaa08!” [sic]

Alia Bhatt holds the citizenship of England because her mother is a UK national but that does not mean Alia is any less Indian. However, Kamaal R Khan being himself, he has to gain attention by making such sly comments.

Talking about Alia, she hasn’t replied to KRK which means that she is completely unfazed with the stupid comment made by the self-proclaimed critic. He also makes it to the headlines by making unwanted comments on Bollywood celebs and bashes film as he likes, no matter how irrelevant and illogical he may sound.

On the work front, Alia would next be seen in a film called ‘Raazi’ co-starring Vicky Kaushal. It is being directed by Meghna Gulzar. It is based on the book ‘Calling Sehmat’, by Harinder S Sikka, which is based on the life of a Kashmiri woman who is married to a Pakistani soldier, and turns a spy for India. Apart from that she also has Ayan Mukherji’s ‘Dragon’, where she will be seen along with Ranbir Kapoor.
