Alia Bhatt ’s Meltdown Sequences In Gangubai Kathiawadi Exhausted Her,

Alia  Bhatt  considers  her performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi her best to date. 

A source from Bhansali Production  reveals, “Alia is very proud  of her  performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi. She has pushed herself harder  on this one than on  any other project to date. There are  two sequences in the film where she has  to pull out  all stops,on a  par with  Shabana Azmi’s breakdown at  the end  of  Shyam Benegal’s Ankur. Alia performed  them without  the help of glycerine. The tears just flowed nonstop even  after the shots were  over.”

 Director Bhansali is  already comparing Alia’s performance in Gangubai Kathiawadi to Shabana Azmi’s  powerhouse performance in Mahesh Bhatt’s Arth.

Will Alia get her  first National award for best  actress  in Gangubai Kathiawadi?  Those who have seen her do what she had  done   in the  film, seem  to think so.
