Alia Bhatt considers Ganguly Bai to be the most challenging character of her career. She says that in this role, I worked the hardest, I worked harder with time, the more time you spend in the industry, the more important it is that you show your hard work.

"When I was working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the first time, her main expectation was that you would come to the seat and give your 10,000 per cent," she says.

"I never thought I would be home for six months."

"The whole world was going through this for the first time, we were all sitting, learning, figuring out what to do," says Alia Bhatt, referring to work during the Code. Didn't think I would have to stay home for six months. But it happened. "

She says that there are always unexpected things in life, so there are only two things you can do, either you can complain or you can fight the situation and make it right for you. "I knew in that look that I had no choice but to give up. On the contrary, when we used to go to the set after a break, I think we did a great job. When the second filming schedule came after the epidemic, we had a great shoot. Filmed several serious scenes, filmed songs, etc., and what we were doing

The value of all this has increased in our lives because at first we had been sitting at home for so many months. ' There was a realization that everything would be fine, right? Will people see or not? '

"Then we started working twice as hard to make something so that the people who were waiting would come to the theater and see it," she says. When you know that so much is at stake, you automatically start working. "
