Alia Bhatt doesn’t believe Deepika Padukone is her competition. The actress made the revelation during the latest episode of Koffee With Karan 8. Alia appeared on the show with her sister-in-law, actress Kareena Kapoor. During the rapid fire round, Karan asked Kareena if she considers Deepika as a competition. Kareena brushed off the question by saying that it was a question for Alia. “I think this is Alia’s question for her rapid fire, not for me,” Kareena quipped. The Gully Boy star quickly shot it down by saying that Deepika is not her competition but her senior.
“Please, not at all. No, why would she be? She is my senior. There is no competition,” Alia said. During her round of rapid fire, Alia was asked if she believes she’s best actress in the country currently. While Kareena cheered her on to agree to that statement, Alia was not on board. “Most definitely not,” Alia said, disappointing Kareena. When Karan asked her to name who she believes is the best actress currently in the country, Alia said, “There are many, I am definitely not it.”
Karan tossed the question to Kareena and asked her to name best actress in the country right now. She said, “I would say Alia.” The latter replied, “It’s a huge compliment but I genuinely don’t believe it.” Alia continued, “Let’s be honest, I genuinely strive to be the best and if I was the best, then what the hell am I striving for? So I am not the best yet.”
Even Alia was asked a question connecting with Deepika during her rapid fire. The actress was asked, what is that one thing that she wants to take from Deepika. Alia replied, “Her screen presence.” She explained, “When she comes on screen, you can’t help but look at her. So I would love to have that.”
