Alia Bhatt and Gal Gadot have been fangirling over each other throughout the promotions of their new spy action thriller film, Heart of Stone, directed by Tom Harper. Alia, in a recent interview, opened up about how Gal was one of the first people she shared her pregnancy news with, and how the Wonder Woman actor was protective towards her.
In an interview with BBC Asia Network, while promoting the Netflix release, Alia was asked if she ever thought of “pulling out” of Heart of Stone since she was pregnant. Alia responded by saying, “no” and explained, “I felt very protected and comfortable. You don’t really talk about being pregnant until you are way into your first trimester so I was not telling many people. But I did confide in Gal, I did confide in my producers and the director because they had to know. They were all so lovely and supportive and excited that I never for once doubted it at all.”
Alia then opened up about how Gal was protective about her and would ask her to keep herself hydrated through the film’s shoot.
“In fact, I remember we were once shooting this, I am not going to talk much about it, but it was really hot and Gal was really bothered about my hydration and she was telling me to keep myself hydrated, asking me to drink enough water. She’d say, ‘You need to keep yourself hydrated’. So, that’s the kind of person she is and she exudes warmth and she is also extremely caring about everybody on her crew and she is wonderful with her actors as well. So yes, I felt too comfortable,” Alia said.
Gal also spoke about Alia and called her a thorough professional. She said, “Alia is a really good actor… But Alia has those different sides to her that, if done well, can make her look even more menacing. Someone scary comes from a package who looks like Alia Bhatt, it can be very deceiving and therefore even more scary… Working with Alia has been such a delightful process, she is so dedicated. She was pregnant and she was so professional. She didn’t rest, made sure we got the right take, she was so nice to everybody, it was an incredible experience working with her.”
