Alia Bhatt reacted to alleged videos doing the rounds on social media suggesting that she has gone under the knife to improve her facial features.
The actress, whose recently released film Jigra courted several controversies, slammed the objectification and judgment that women face in their day-to-day lives. She called the unrelenting and “unrealistic” judgment that females are subjected to “damaging and exhausting”.

Alia’s note read, “Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT 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?”
She added, “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.”
Alia calls out unfair criticism of women and their looks
The Alpha actress further shared, “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.”

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 normalized. Meanwhile just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet.”
