Alia Bhatt made her big Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year. The film was directed by Karan Johar and made a lot of noise over its ‘nepotism’ aspect. The actress grabbed a lot of eyeballs when she named India’s president incorrectly during her Koffee With Karan debut. Not only there was a lot of backlash but she was declared ‘dumb.’
It was in 2013 when Alia named Prithviraj Chauhan as the then president of the country while Dr Pranab Mukherjee was the correct answer. The answer not only shocked Karan Johar but the entire nation. There was constant mocking, trolls and memes that even go viral to date.
When asked about the current president of India, Alia Bhatt told Indian Express Droupadi Murmu ji in a swift tone. Talking about her evolution over the years, the Darlings actress added, “I love it when people think that I am unintelligent, or that ‘oh she is so dumb.’ I genuinely do, because they make so many memes on me which add to the popularity, and then it’s like you are loving my movies.”
