Actor
Alia
Bhatt
said
in
an
interview
that
she
was
heartbroken
when
'Kalank'
tanked
at
the
box
office,
for
her
hard
work
didn't
pay
off
immediately.
However,
after
her
actor-boyfriend
Ranbir
Kapoor
advised
her
and
helped
change
her
perspective,
she
came
out
of
it.
Kalank
which
had
Alia,
Varun
Dhawan,
Madhuri
Dixit-Nene,
Sanjay
Dutt,
Sonakshi
Sinha,
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor
and
Kunal
Kemmu
in
lead
roles,
was
an
ambitious
period
drama.
Filmmaker
Karan
Johar
asked
Alia
about
Kalank's
failure
at
the
Jio
MAMI
Movie
Mela
with
Star
2019.
"Strangely,
I
was
really
okay
the
day
it
happened.
I
had
seen
the
film
a
day
before
and
I
knew
in
my
head
what
was
going
to
happen.
Later
on
when
I
thought
about
it,
what
really
broke
my
heart
was
that
I
always
in
my
head
had
this
idea
that
if
you
work
really
hard,
it'll
always
pay-off.
But
it
didn't.
That
felt
scary," she
said.
The
actor
also
said
that
Ranbir
gave
her
an
advice,
and
it
"made
a
lot
of
sense" to
her.
"He
said,
you
put
in
the
hard
work,
it
doesn't
have
to
pay-off
immediately.
It'll
pay
off
in
your
life,
someday.
That's
what
it
means
to
be
a
hardworking
actor
or
a
person.
Someday
the
goodness
will
come
to
you
in
another
film.
My
job
is
to
put
in
the
hard
work.
I
believed
in
the
film,
it
didn't
pan
out
the
way
we
wanted
to,
I
felt
bad
about
it
for
a
few
days
but
I
had
to
focus
on
my
next."
On
the
work
front,
Alia
will
next
be
seen
in
'Sadak
2',
which
is
being
directed
by
her
father,
filmmaker
Mahesh
Bhatt.
It
is
a
sequel
to
the
1991
film
'Sadak'
and
the
film
also
stars
Sanjay
Dutt,
Pooja
Bhatt,
and
Aditya
Roy
Kapoor.
