Loki star Sophia Di Martino in awe of Alia's Gangubai performance: Put us in a movie together

"Loki" actor Sophia Di Martino is bowled over by Alia Bhatt's performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's period drama "Gangubai Kathiawadi" and has expressed a desire to collaborate with the Indian star.

The British actor took to her Instagram Stories to wax lyrical about Bhatt's performance in the movie, which was released in February this year to a positive response from the audience and critics. It is one of the highest-earning Hindi movies of the year.


"Woahhh. What a turn @aliabhatt is going to take over the world in about a minute and a half #GangubaiKathiawadi" Martino wrote alongside the film's poster.

Alia shared a screenshot of Sophia’s Instagram story and thanked the "Loki" star for the praise. "This means so much from someone who is about to take over a whole multiverse,” she said.

In her reply to Bhatt, Martino said, "Casual Fan Girling over here." Martino's 'fangirl' moment carried over to Twitter as well wherein a reply to a fan page of Alia Bhatt, she wrote, "Oh come on someone put us in a movie together so our kids can be best friends." Martino, 39, shares two children with her partner, actor Will Sharpe.

Bhatt, 29, tied the knot with actor Ranbir Kapoor in April this year and the couple welcomed their first child in November.

Based on a chapter from writer S Hussain Zaidi's book "Mafia Queens of Mumbai", "Gangubai Kathiawadi" had its world premiere at the 72nd Berlin International Film Festival in February.

The biographical drama features Bhatt in the title role of one of the most powerful, loved and respected madams from Mumbai's Kamathipura neighbourhood during the 1960s.

Bhatt will next be seen in "Heart of Stone", which will mark her Hollywood debut. The spy action thriller, directed by Tom Harper, also stars Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan. She also stars in Karan Johar's directorial venture "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani" alongside Ranveer Singh.

Nick Jonas says it's 'scary' to imagine daughter Malti in showbiz after what he and Priyanka faced

Nick Jonas is no stranger to fame. From performing on Broadway as a child to becoming one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he’s spent most of his life under the spotlight. His wife, Priyanka Chopra, entered the world of glamour as a teenager, winning Miss World at 18 before making it big in Bollywood and then Hollywood. So, it’s only natural that people are curious whether their daughter, Malti Marie, might follow in their footsteps.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Nick opened up about the possibility. When asked whether he’d be okay with his daughter getting into the entertainment industry at a young age, he paused before saying it’s a decision she’ll have to make herself. While three-year-old Malti already enjoys singing, Nick admitted that the idea of her stepping into such a demanding field so early is unsettling.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.
