Now, in a recent interaction, Wamiqa Gabbi has opened up about the same. The Jubilee actor went on to say that she “wants to steal Karan from Alia Bhatt.”While talking to Nayandeep Rakshit, Wamiqa was asked what she would like to steal from other actresses. When it came to Alia Bhatt, Wamiqa responded with, “Karan Johar.” She, however, explained her reason and shared that she would love to have the support of somebody as “powerful” as Karan Johar in the film industry. She said, “Because he has been her biggest supporter, and I think to have someone that powerful, talented and in that position—and to have that love that you share with that person, to have that person in your life—isn’t that a beautiful thing?”Years ago, Aishwarya Rai had also spoken about Karan Johar’s unbridled support for Alia Bhatt. She had said in an interaction with Bollywood Hungama, “I’ve said this to her also—it’s fantastic for you, the kind of support Karan has given to her from the beginning. To have that kind of establishment with you is very comforting. It’s not tough to have it laid out for you for the longest time.” Karan Johar launched Alia Bhatt in the movies with his 2012 romantic-comedy Student of the Year.

She said, “It’s great for you as an actor, as there is only good work and good opportunities ahead. What’s nice is she’s also doing good work along with great opportunities, which are virtually there on her lap, literally, regularly. So, it’s nice she is doing good work within that.
