Alia Bhatt “at heart of issue” again for using cosmetic treatments
Pathetically, an actress of the status of Alia Bhatt is again at the heart of issue following social media users accusing her of using cosmetic treatments and manipulating her way through Bollywood.
Notedly, in August 2024, users started sharing videos claiming the actress’s facial expressions and speech seemed altered. There were speculations from many that she had undergone beauty procedures.
It’s now learned that Alia strongly denies the speculations, saying she had never had any cosmetic work done and also expressed frustration over the constant scrutiny of her looks and the personal nature of the criticism she encounters.
Notwithstanding her clarification, trolls continue to post comparison videos showing supposed “before and after” clips of her face. The online targeting has since expanded beyond appearance to allegations over her career behaviour.
Some users claim Alia emotionally influences directors to secure prominent roles. As an example they cited
“Dear Zindagi” alleging she replaced her friend Katrina Kaif under pressure from Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan.
It’s a belief of many that Karan Johar consistently prioritises Alia’s casting, even if it is a fragile bond within Bollywood. Such claims have followed her throughout her career.
Reports also mention her fallout with Sanjay Leela Bhansali following her exit from one of his projects, an incident that reportedly left her emotionally affected.
Although controversies persist to surround her, Alia often manages them strategically. She addressed personal rumours like the Botox claims but stayed silent on professional allegations, including Divya Khosla’s charge that she misrepresented box office numbers for Jigra.
However, her fan base and film choices have aided her maintain popularity regardless repeated criticism. However, some users insist her PR team manufactures distractions whenever a film underperforms.
They point out that the Botox rumours surfaced just as Jigra received negative attention, suggesting a pattern where controversies divert focus from box office setbacks.
Alia’s case for many observers, shows how Bollywood narratives are often built and reshaped online, turning both truth and perception into tools of survival in the industry.
