Jigra Star Alia Bhatt Recalls Having A 'Beauty Disaster': 'Once I Was Getting Threaded And...'

As an actress, Alia Bhatt is always under pressure to look her best. She is known for her effortless fashion sense and mesmerising beauty. However, she is not averse to ‘beauty disasters’. In a recent chat with Allure magazine, Alia recalled how she once threaded her eyebrow a little extra.

She said, “Once I was getting threaded and one eyebrow lost an extra line. And then I was like ‘Okay, what do I do? Do I wait for this one to grow out or do I sort of even it out?’ I just didn’t do anything. I just said, ‘Let it be. I’ll just look like I am a little bit more curious or something.’ But luckily that was the only disaster.” Alia added that she was fortunate that her “hair grows back really fast.”

Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia is currently seen in Jigra. Vasan Bala’s Jigra was one of the most-anticipated releases of the year. However, the film did not perform well at the box office and it found itself in several controversies after its release.

In a conversation with Fever FM, Vasan Bala opened up about the failure of Jigra. The movie has been named Alia Bhatt’s ‘lowest box office opener’ as of now. The director said that he felt that he had let Bhatt down with the outcome of the film. He said, “She is the first choice for everyone. She could have been on any other film set, but Jigra, during that time. So she has to make that choice. And she has trusted me with that choice. So it is my responsibility to deliver box office because we are in the business of filmmaking also.”

Jigra earned Rs 4.55 crore on its opening day in India. As reported by Sacnilk, the movie has earned Rs 27.30 crores so far. The movie also found itself in a series of controversies after its release. Divya Khossla called out the makers for manipulating box office numbers and for plagiarising from her film, Savi. Additionally, Manipur actor Bijou Thaangjam also accused the makers of discrimination and ‘unprofessional behaviour.’ The movie was backed by Dharma Productions and it was presented by Viacom18 Studios and Eternal Sunshine Productions. It revolves around a sister who leaves no stone unturned to rescue her brother from a prison abroad.
