loving the nation isn’t enough: Alia
Actress Alia Bhatt, who plays a spy in the forthcoming film Raazi, says she learnt a new definition of patriotism, which is more about contribution to the well-being of people selflessly rather than just feeling proud and loving your country.
“I learnt that what we believe is patriotism is quite opposite of what true patriotism is. We say we are patriots because we are living in the country and we love our country, but that is not enough,” Alia told.
“We have to participate in activities that may not be beneficial to us but to the larger population. During the journey of narrating the character, I learnt that we need to participate in things much more actively,” she added.
‘Hey Karan Johar, for all the world, who thinks I'm spinning off Student Of The Year (with) Punch Beat, (it) is not that! But since you are the father of this ‘genre' right from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai bless this show please and wish Rosewoodians good luck! We at AlT Balaji love you’
