Kamal Rashid Khan, aka KRK, is a self-acclaimed film critic and superstar who has taken it upon himself to expose celebrities. While sometimes his revelations are not always very trustworthy, sometimes he nails it with his research. And it seems like this time around, it's the latter.
Alia Bhatt and Vendang Raina starrer, Jigra was released on October 9, 2024, at theatres near us and the film's craze was to the next level on social media. The film majorly got excellent reviews from critics, barring a few, and as per Alia Bhatt and her team's report, Jigra is doing extremely well at the box office. However, it seems like it's not entirely the truth, and KRK even alleged Alia Bhatt for cheating her uncle, Mukesh Bhatt.

It is common for Indian filmmakers to get inspired by international movies and copy them. As per KKR, the Bhatt brothers, Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt, wanted the rights to the Hollywood film, Next Three Days, when they used to work together.

After separation of Bhatt brothers #Alia gave that screenplay to #KaranJohar without bothering that her uncle would lose Rs. 4cr. Mukesh Bhatt was shooting the film Savi with actress #DivyaKhosla when Alia announced the same film based jail break story by just changing husband- wife concept to Brother-Sister. Alia Bhatt says, she is the top actress and having Crores of Rupees. But she still cheats her 72yr old Uncle Mukesh Bhatt. Jab Ye Apno Ke Nahi Hai, Toh Gairon Ke Kya Honge!"
After KRK, even Divya Khossla Kumar slammed Alia Bhatt, but for a completely different reason. Divya shared a picture of an empty theatre hall and wrote that just like this hall, all the other theatres all over India are empty, but Alia Bhatt and her team are fooling people by faking their box office collection numbers. In Divya's words:
