Alia Bhatt, who has been busy promoting her upcoming film Alpha, recently addressed her appearance on Samay Raina’s India’s Got Lant 2 with a humorous reaction that left fans amused. The actress, who appeared in the first episode of the show alongside her co-star Alva Sharvari, playfully responded to a question about whether she was paid for her appearance.During a promotional event at JECRC University in Jaipur earlier this week, Alia interacted with students while promoting Shiv Rawail’s spy thriller. A student asked her why she chose to appear on the controversial comedy show. Before she could answer, someone in the audience shouted: “Besa!” (money).Alia took the comment in stride, and said sarcastically: “Kaun Bola? A human stranger.” (Who said that? Poor man), which sparked laughter from the audience.
A callback to India’s Got Latent 2
Alia’s remark was a hilarious reference to a memorable moment from the first episode of India’s Got Latent 2. During the show, host Samay Raina asked one of the contestants, “What does a girl want from a guy?” When someone in the audience shouted: “Besa!” Alia asked: Who said that? Samay replied jokingly: “Koi is a human stranger.”The callback to Samay is not lost either. Sharing a clip of the Jaipur interaction on his Instagram Stories, he wrote: “Hahahaha total kill,” accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Samay Raina praised Alia and Sharvari
The first episode of India’s Got Latent 2, which was released simultaneously on Netflix and YouTube, featured Alpha stars Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as guests.After the episode aired, Samay praised both the actresses for being willing to join in the fun. He wrote on social media: “Lots of love to @aliaabhatt and sharvari for being so calm and fun. It takes a lot of courage for someone at such levels of the game.”
I was humbled by your humility and learned a lot from you. I’ve always admired your work, but now I’m an even greater admirer of the people you are.”
