In an interview with Mid-day, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke star spilled the beans on her flop movie Love Aaj Kal and the events that flowed after that.

Further revealing insights about Atrangi Re, the diva added, “Atrangi Re is a great script. This character is outstanding. Are you sure you don’t want to call Alia Bhatt (to do the role instead)?’”
