Akansha Ranjan Kapoor Reveals BFF Alia Bhatt’s Reaction To Guilty; Shares Experience Of Working With Kiara Advani

Karan Johar’s latest Netflix original Guilty, which released on 6^th March, is a true masterpiece. Featuring Kiara Advani in the lead, the thriller drama sheds light on the #MeToo movement and follows the story of a songwriter whose boyfriend is accused of rape. The casting of the film was perfect but it was debutante Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, the victim in the story, who stole the show with her outstanding performance.

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Akansha shared her experience of working with Kiara and shared, “Firstly, we knew each other from before, in a very formal and social basis. We started hanging out after we met at office for readings. We became very close during the one week workshop we had which was high intensity, nerve wrecking and emotional. We were crying in front of each other, we shared our darkest secrets, so inherently we became close. Post that, we connected like easily, we used to hang out together.  We would workout together, that being said, she was very nice to me as co star. She was so encouraging.”

Akansha also revealed her best friend and top actress Alia Bhatt’s reaction after the special screening of Guilty. She said, “I ran away before the film ended. So everyone came to me and greeted me later. I met Shaheen, I met Alia’s mom, and I was looking for Alia. Everyone was congratulating me. I ran to her later when I saw her and she told me she is avoiding me. And then, when we got in the car, she cried and gave a low down of everything. She is happy I got to do that. She appreciated my work.”

Directed by Ruchi Narain and written by Narain, Kanika Dhillon and Atika Chohan, Guilty is the first production venture of Dharmatic, the digital arm of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions.
