Did Hollywood legend Jane Fonda ask Alia Bhatt to step aside on the red carpet with Heidi Klum? - Watch VIRAL Cannes 2026 VIDEO

A brief, ambiguous video from the Cannes Film Festival has once again put Alia Bhatt at the center of social media discussion. The clip, featuring Alia alongside Hollywood legend Jane Fonda, German supermodel Heidi Klum, and Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz, has gone widely viral, with viewers sharply divided over what actually took place.

Did Jane Fonda ask Alia Bhatt to step aside while posing for the cameras?

The footage captured the group posing together at Cannes, but online claims suggest Jane Fonda asked Alia Bhatt to step aside while photographers were taking pictures. In the clip, Alia initially appears composed and smiling, but within moments, her expression subtly shifts, adding further fuel to the speculation.

The absence of clear audio makes it impossible to confirm what was said, leaving the internet to draw its own conclusions and debate the moment at length.

Internet reacts

A comment read, "We love you Queen ALIA. Let them try hard we all know they are doing negative PR against you." A person added, "Beizzati ki Brand ambassador hai ye Alia." One individual commented, "She said look that way, a new pr narrative?" An X (formerly Twitter) user wrote, "Trying to get sympathy now. PR trying hard."
