What's the story
The year 2022 is turning out to be quite eventful for Alia Bhatt. After delivering blockbusters like Gangubai Kathiawadi and RRR, the actor has surely proved her mettle. Bhatt has also scored her Hollywood debut film, Heart of Stone. Given her successful record, Bhatt was recently asked what advice she would give Shah Rukh Khan on his "flops." Here's what she had to say.
Context
Why does this story matter?
SRK's last film Zero, which was released in 2018, didn't fare well at the box office. While it was reportedly made on a budget of Rs. 200cr, the film was able to earn only Rs. 186cr. His previous release Jab Harry Met Sejal also received mixed reviews from viewers and critics. However, despite this, SRK isn't called the Baadshah of Bollywood for no reason.
Advice
Bhatt: 'He's the magic and magician put together'
At a recent event held by The Indian Express, panelists asked Bhatt what advice she would offer to SRK, who "has had a few flops" of late. "He needs no advice," Bhatt replied and added, "He's the magic and magician put together." "So, I won't give any advice to him, rather I'll take advice from him on how magical he is," Bhatt said further.
