Actress Alia Bhatt has responded to Kangana Ranaut39s criticism regarding celebrities who don39t take a stand on political and social issues by saying that she has an opinion on matters, but she likes to keep it to herself.Alia was interacting with the media at the fourth edition of Outlook Business magazine39s 39Women of Worth39 awards here on Wednesday.Kangana recently criticised actors like Ranbir Kapoor, Alia and Ranveer Singh for not voicing their opinions on political topics and for staying aloof from issues concerning the society at large.Commenting on this, Alia said: "I definitely don39t have that ability to speak as candidly as Kangana does and I really respect her for that. Maybe, in a way she is right that sometimes we do hold back because we don39t want to talk unnecessarily about an issue.""My dad filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt always says that there are already so many opinions in the world, so the world can do with one less opinion. So, I have an opinion but I will keep it to myself. But kudos to her Kangana because she genuinely speaks really well."On being part of "Kalank", Alia said: "It has been an unbelievable journey and it is an honour to be a part of such an ensemble cast. The director of 39Kalank39, Abhishek Verman is a very close friend of mine. I think all of us, including him, have done a lot of hard work for this film. "It39s just the beginning... There will not be one dull moment until 39Kalank39 releases.""Kalank" is a period drama produced by Karan Johar, Sajid Nadiadwala and Fox Star Studios.Set for release on April 19, it stars Varun Dhawan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Aditya Roy Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Kunal Kemmu and Sanjay Dutt, apart from Alia.
