Sania Mirza annoyed at being compared to Alia’s anti-Pak character from ‘Raazi’

10 Apr, 2018

The trailer of Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt’s upcoming movie ‘Raazi’ was released yesterday and by the looks of it, the movie seems like yet another anti-Pakistan flick.

As if that wasn't enough, one twitter user dared to compare Alia's reel character to real life Indian sportswoman Sania Mirza and she was not happy about it.

‘Raazi’ is an adaptation of Harinder S Sikka’s book titled ‘Calling Sehmat’ that is said to be based on true life events that happened in 1971. Alia plays the character of ‘Sehmat,' an Indian spy married to a Pakistani policeman that infiltrates in the country to extract secrets.

Seeing its trailer, twitter page founded by one of Indian comedian/writer Karan Talwar compared Alia’s character from the movie to Indian tennis player Sania who is married to Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik. However, the Indian celebrity sportswoman was not one bit happy over this comparison.

Alia’s upcoming movie also features Vicky Kaushal, who plays the role of his Pakistani husband. The movie is set to release on May 11, however, there are high chances that the film might face a ban in Pakistan for obvious reasons.
