Alia Bhatt opens up on Rangoli Chandel Mocking Her for Sending Flowers on Kangana Ranaut's Padma Shri

Actress Kangana Ranaut, filmmaker Karan Johar, singer-composer Adnan Sami and producer Ekta Kapoor were honored with the Padma Shri for their contribution in the field of performing arts. The Padma awards were announced by the Government of India on the eve of Republic Day on Saturday.

Alia Bhatt congratulated Kangana Ranaut and sent her flowers after it was announced that the latter will be conferred with the Padma Shri this year. However, Ranaut's sister Rangoli Chandel mocked the actress by tweeting the pictures of the bouquet. Chandel had written, "Yeh dekho Alia ji ne bhi Kangana ko phool bheje hain, Kangana ka pata nahin magar mujhe bahut maza aa raha hai (Look, Alia has also sent flowers. I don’t know about Kangana but I am really enjoying it)."

After Rangoli's tweet surfaced, it was claimed that Alia had responded to her saying, "Let them react the way they want to. I am happy for Kangana." 

However, Alia has now clarified that she has not issued any statement about either Kangana or Rangoli after she sent a bouquet of flowers and a congratulatory note to Kangana over her Padma Shri honor. 

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia is currently busy with the filming of Gangubai Kathiawadi. She will also shoot for RRR, Sadak 2 and Brahmastra during the year.
