Alia got the 'the misfortune of success': Mahesh Bhatt

Sep 12, 2014 NR



Film-maker Mahesh Bhatt thinks his youngest daughter Alia is already a star in her own world, who got 'the misfortune of success', and says he does not work with stars.


"She is a star in her own world, and I don’t work with stars", the film veteran said.


Sharing his opinion on her career graph as a father and as a film-maker, Bhatt said, “She is lucky to get what she wants.” But for him, success comes with its own conditions.


“She got what we call 'the misfortune of success' because I was fortunate enough to be unsuccessful when I started, and then I was groomed in the pain. She had the privilege to take a fantastic take-off in the industry, and that too with diverse films. But it's still a beginning”, he said.


Bhatt feels "she has to do a lot to keep on fulfilling the unreasonable demands that audiences make" because no one spares anyone in their failure.


"Remember this nation didn't even forgive Sachin Tendulkar, who had a spectacular take-off and when he leaned down, he had to face lot of criticism. This is public place, they worship success, but they hate failures too”, added the filmmaker.
