Randeep Hooda Finally Breaks Silence on His Old Tweet Supporting Alia Bhatt

Bollywood: In the Subhankar Mishra Podcast, Randeep Hooda confirmed that his old tweet for Alia Bhatt during the Gully Boy controversy was indeed aimed at Kangana Ranaut. 

Randeep Hooda had earlier worked with Alia Bhatt in the movie Highway, and they both had a cordial relation between them. At that time, Kangana made a very disturbing comment about Alia Bhatt's performance in Gully Boy, calling it mediocre. On this, Randeep quickly stood up in support of Alia, without naming Kangana, and he wrote on his social media, “Dearest @aliaabhatt, I’m so glad you are not letting the opinions of very occasional actors and chronic victims affect you and your work. Kudos to you for your continued efforts to outdo yourself.”

Talking about his equation with Kangana, Randeep said Subhankar on his YouTube Podcast, “ It’s okay. I’ve worked with her in a couple of movies, and it’s okay. It’s not too close. Kabhi kabhi baatchit ho jaati hai. Infact ek din mujhe sapna aaya, jab Indira Gandhi aur unki picture aane wali thi, sapna aaya ki main aur woh dono bachche hain chhote aur aapas mein baatein kar rahe hain. Maine usko bheja tha message. Boli bohot sweet hai.”

When the host asked about the term occasional actor in his old tweet, it was targeted at Kangana. He confirmed, “Kyunki woh Kangana ko bohot target kar rahi thi. Mera Kangana se koi bair, na tha na hai.. Par Highway ki wajah se, woh jo chhoti Alia thi, usse mera ek bohot lagav hai. Usko hai ya nahi hai mujhe nahi pata but mujhe Dheera ke liye ek bohot lagav hai.”

“Mujhe ye achchha nahi lagta ki aap apna tuta bajane ke liye kisi aur ko neecha dikhao, woh mujhe bilkul achchha nahi lagta. Nahi main karta hoon, nahi achchha lagta hai. Woh jab mujhe laga ki aisa ho raha tha baatchit se. Tabhi maine isko tweet kiya tha kyunki koshish sabhi kar rahe hain. Kangana ek bohot achchhi actor hai unko ye baatein shobha nahi deti”, the actor added.

Recently, Randeep Hooda has played the role of Varadaraja Ranatunga in the movie Jaat, which was released on 10 April 2025.
