"None of it makes sense."
Alia Bhatt is popular for her beauty as much as her acting skills. However, she has not been free of controversy during her career.
Alia has dealt with some challenging allegations, from debates about her IQ to the Sushant Singh Rajput scandal.
The actress has also been the target of deepfake material on multiple occasions.
A video recently circulated which allegedly claimed that Alia had had Botox surgery on her face.
The star took to her Instagram Story to condemn the rumours.
In a lengthy statement, Alia Bhatt wrote: “Absolutely no judgment towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery – your body, your choice.
“But wow, this is beyond ridiculous!
“To the random video floating around literally claiming I’ve had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles), I have a ‘crooked smile’ and a ‘weird way of speaking’, according to you.
“This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face.
“And now you’re confidently tossing around ‘scientific” explanations, claiming I’m paralysed on one side? Are you kidding me?
“These are serious claims being casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up.
“What’s worse, you’re influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage.
“Why are you saying this? For clickbait? Attention? Because none of it makes sense.
“Let’s take a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet –our faces, bodies, personal lives, even our bumps are up for critique.
“We should be celebrating individuality, not tearing it apart under a microscope.
“These types of judgments perpetuate unrealistic standards, making people feel like they’re never ‘enough’. It’s damaging, and it’s exhausting.
“And the saddest part? A lot of this judgment comes from other women.
“Whatever happened to ‘live and let live?’ To ‘everyone has the right to their own choices?’
“Instead, we’ve become so accustomed to picking each other apart that it’s almost normalised.
“Meanwhile, just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet.”
In an era where equality and progressiveness are being championed, it is shocking that Alia Bhatt was subjected to such allegations.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia was last seen in Jigra (2024). It was released on October 11 and was a box-office disappointment.
The film has currently earned Rs 42 crores (£38 million) at the box office.
Alia Bhatt also has the likes of Alpha and Love & War on the cards.
