She continued, 'I feel very fortunate that my husband (Ranbir Kapoor) is also my best friend and a wonderful actor. We often discuss our films and scenes with each other.

Speaking about comparisons between Jigra and Animal, Alia Bhatt said, 'I know people have been comparing the two, but there really aren't many similarities. It's not just about Animal or Jigra a common theme in many films is doing something for a loved one."

"It's a genre in itself, and many movies have been made on these lines. So aside from that one aspect, there aren't any direct similarities between the two films,' she concluded.
