Mahesh Bhatt loves to put out strong opinions about everything. The filmmaker never hesitates in sharing what he feels, even if it is talking about his own daughter Alia Bhatt's performances. Mahesh Bhatt recently talked about his daughter Alia Bhatt's debut film, Student of the Year, and said that she was just a mannequin in the Varun Dhawan and Sidharth Malhotra starrer.

In a conversation with India Today, Mahesh Bhatt praised Alia for her performance in Udta Punjab, though he has his own way of praising his daughter. “I must say that I was devastated by Udta Punjab. I didn’t understand when did this girl, this Juhu girl exposed to our home, where we live like a normal family… How did this Juhu girl get the accent right of an Adivasi from Chhattisgarh? It was amazing. I was astounded by that,” he said while talking about Alia’s performance.
