Bollywood star Alia Bhatt recently thanked actor Samantha Ruth Prabhu for supporting her film Jigra at an event in Hyderabad and praised her resilience. The actor was speaking at the Jigra Telugu pre-release event in the city. Directors Trivikram Srinivas and Rana Daggubati were also present at the event along with Samantha.

“My dear Samantha, you are an on-screen and off-screen hero. I admire your talent, your resilience, your strength so much. It’s not easy being a woman in a man’s world, but you have transcended gender You stand on your own two feet, and you have your talent, and your strong kicks are an example for everyone,” Alia said.

She also shared that when Alia invited Samantha to attend the pre-release event, it took only 6.5 seconds for her to say ‘I’ll be there’.

The Jigra actor also appealed to the director of Guntur Karam to cast him and Samantha together in a film. “And here on this platform, not doing this for publicity, this is what I really want to say. Trivikram sir, I think Samantha and I should be in a film written and directed by you. They say that generally But actresses compete with each other and all that. But I am very grateful that there is a pan-Indian superstar here today to support my film and say such kind words for me. “

A video from the event has now gone viral, in which Alia is singing a popular song Oo Antava from Pushpa: The Rise, which also features Samantha.

Alia won everyone’s hearts with her Telugu speech at the event.

To keep an eye:

Samantha was recently in the news due to the controversy over Telangana Minister Konda Surekha’s comments on her divorce with Naga Chaitanya. This was Samantha’s first visit to Hyderabad after the controversy. Although he addressed the issue through a statement shared on social media, he avoided talking about it at the event.

Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt-starrer Jigra is set to release in theaters on October 11. Directed by Vasan Bala, it also stars Vedang Raina.
