Required viewing for anyone who’s ever made an “Alia Bhatt’s so dumb” joke. Oh, and of course All India Bakchod are the masterminds behind this.

She quickly (unsurprisingly) became an easy target for the merciless World Wide Web to joke about her general knowledge, or lack thereof.
"I don't get upset at it, I laugh at it. I am the first person to laugh at myself. I always say that I rather be stupid than pretend to be intelligent... Basically there are these Twitter and Facebook jokes on me, because I am apparently stupid. They are very hilarious."
As if that wasn't a perfect enough response, Bhatt just starred as herself in a hilarious mockumentary recounting her fictional attempts to become more intelligent in the days following the incident.
