Actress Alia Bhatt, who says she has beautiful memories of shooting her upcoming film Raazi in Kashmir, adds that she feels angry and hurt about the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kathua district of Jammu and Kashmir. She hopes that justice is served.

The actress made the comments at a song launch for Raazi.

“It is a very disgraceful, shameful and terrible incident that has happened. As a girl, as a woman, as an individual, as a resident of this country, I feel very bad and hurt that something like this has happened,” said Bhatt.

“I was reading about the case for many days, but I stopped reading updates since the past two days because I think the more I read it, it makes me more upset, angry and hurt. I hope from my heart that justice is served. We should really go out there and condemn this because this cannot be done to us again and again,” she added.

Bhatt was accompanied by Raazi director Meghna Gulzar, and co-actors Vicky Kaushal and Jaideep Ahlawat. They gathered to unveil the song Aye Watan, sung by Arijit Singh and written by Gulzar.

Raazi will release on May 10 in the UAE.
