Recently, the nomination list for an annual award function was published, which covered 19 categories in artistic and technical excellence.

Alia Bhatt entered the list of nomination for her performance in Zoya Akhtar's Gully Boy, whereas, Kangana Ranaut made it to the list for her work in Ekta Kapoor's Judgementall Hai Kya. Many of their fans know that the duo maintain a safe distance from each other. Recently, Kangana Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel mocked Alia Bhatt when she congratulated and sent flowers to Kangana for receiving the Padma Shri 2020 honour. This was not the first time when Rangoli mocked Alia Bhatt.

Earlier in December 2019, Rangoli targeted Alia Bhatt and accused her of fixing the Best Actor award. She later challenged Alia Bhatt to have an acting face-off with Kangana Ranaut. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt never responded to the tweets in which Rangoli slammed her.  Apart from Rangoli, Kangana Ranaut's remark on Alia's performance in Gully Boy during the promotions of Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi also grabbed the headlines. Reportedly, Kangana was quoted saying that Alia's work in Gully Boy was mediocre.
