Alia Bhatt makes second Cannes appearance

Alia Bhatt faces trolling on social media

However, besides the fan frenzy, Alia also battled criticism and trolling online. Mom Soni came to her defence by taking to the comments section to write, "Social media is full of many things, love, information, entertainment, and… a lot of hate. And more than anything else, it reveals something about society. A very interesting sociological discussion could ensue and be discussed and studied for years to come."


Alia also didn't shy away from personally responding to one of the trolls who commented, "What a pity, no one noticed you." Alia replied, "Why pity, love? You noticed me :)"

On the work front

Alia will be seen next in the spy film 'Alpha'. She will also be seen teaming up with hubby Ranbir Kapoor in the Bhansali film 'Love and War' that will also see her reuniting with Vicky Kaushal.

Meanwhile, rumours are rife that the actress has also bagged a role in 'Tumbbad 2'.Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
