Alia Bhatt, who recently made headlines for apparently saying she is not a feminist, denied getting trolled on internet for the same.

When the 23-year-old actress was quizzed on this recent trolling, she told media here, "There has been no troll, I have seen. But I clarified things through my tweets, so that there's no further miscommunication."

For the unversed, Alia's interview with Cosmopolitan magazine for its September issue, where the cover proudly said 'Alia Bhatt - on Fashion, FOMO and why she's Not a feminist,' made her the butt of the internet trolling sometimes back.

However, the 'Udta Punjab' actress quickly took to Twitter to clarify the statement, saying, "To clarify, I absolutely AM a feminist. To deny feminism would be to deny equality for my gender."

"What I *meant* to say was that I'm not an active part of a feminist campaign right now. That's it (sic)," read her other tweet.

On the work front, the actress has wrapped up the second schedule of her upcoming project with Varun Dhawan, titled 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania.'

Speaking about the schedule, which was shot in Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan, Alia said, "The shooting for Badrinath Ki Dulhaniya was amazing.This was just the second schedule. We have two more schedules to go."

A sequel to 'Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania,' Shashank Khaitan directed 'Badrinath Ki Dulhania' is slated for a Match 10 release.
