Alia Bhatt Shares A Cryptic Message After Kangana Ranaut Calls Her Out

Kangana Ranaut unapologetically named top industry personalities in her sensational interview with Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami claiming that they were responsible for causing mental distress to late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Ranaut called out Alia Bhatt on 'The Nation Wants to Know' and brought up the 'Koffee with Karan' episode where she had mocked the actor by feigning ignorance of his existence.

Reacting to the allegations, Alia Bhatt on Sunday took to her Instagram handle to share a cryptic post that said, "The truth is the truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is a lie even if everyone believes it." Alia and her family (including Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt) have been on the receiving end of all the hatred and negativity since Sushant Singh Rajput's unfortunate death. A few days back Alia shared another quote that said, "Silence says a lot more than you think."
