Sharing the video, The Academy wrote, “Alia Bhatt performing ‘Ghar More Pardesiya’ (vocals by Shreya Ghoshal with Vaishali Mhade) from the film ‘Kalank.’ Directed by Abhishek Varman; Starring Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit, Sanjay Dutt and Sonakshi Sinha; Song composed by Pritam Chakraborty; Lyrics by Amitabh Bhattacharya.” The video went viral quickly, with fans expressing their gratitude to the Oscars for recognizing Alia’s talent.
One fan wrote, “Alia literally is the biggest female Indian superstar right now.” Another user commented, “One of the most expressive faces that Hindi cinema has ever witnessed.” However, many fans felt that the Academy should have nominated Alia for an Oscar for her leading performance in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi.
