In a media chat, Alia Bhatt was questioned about qualities and aspects of Gangubai that stayed back with her. Alia revealed that while she comes from a protected background, and the Kamathipura set was the first time she had walked the streets of that area. She disclosed that while she didn’t go there physically, her process of discovering Gangubai happened through her conversations with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, and through his lens.
“The positive things that I learned from her, which is actually very, very similar to my personality is that she never let that childlike innocence go, even though she was fighting this big bad world, and being a part of this big bad world, so to speak. Her innocence and her vulnerability was intact, despite having to play this very strong role for these women,” revealed Alia. She further revealed that it also gave her a lot of guts to speak in a big room, something she had been nervous to do since she began working at a young age.
“I’m constantly told how young I am and it’s always been that way since I started working. So very often, I would just feel a little nervous to speak my mind or say anything, because I was so young, you just feel like you don’t really have a place in the room. That’s something that it gave me - a lot of confidence to speak and to go with my gut and to say what I need to say. That’s one thing that I felt very strongly from this character,” revealed Alia.
