Explaining about the BAFTA red carpet moment, the actress revealed that she was trying to recall the famous monologue of Gone Girl. "So basically I really think it is the best twist but I have not liked watched it in... when did it release? 10 years ago? So I have not watched it after that," Bhatt said. “So when she was like, ‘that monologue,’ I was like ‘haan’ (yes) and I was going back in my head that oh ya, ‘that monologue, correct correct correct’ and she was mentioned cleaning the floor and I was like like ‘haan’ (yes) so I was like going back in time and I guess that’s what you saw. I am a cool girl. I am a sweet girl. But I could be... total... I mean I can be like... I am more sweet than I am cool. Actually, I don’t think I am cool. I am uncool girl, my sister would say that.”
Currently, Bhatt is gearing up for the female-led spy thriller Alpha, which also features Sharvari Wagh and Bobby Deol in key roles. She will also appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s romantic drama Love and War alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
