Alia Bhatt appeared on the latest episode of ‘Koffee With Karan’ with Kareena Kapoor Khan. On the show, she opened up about her recent comments on husband Ranbir Kapoor that raked up a huge controversy.
In a beauty tutorial video, Alia had said that Ranbir doesn't like it when she wears lipsticks and tells her to ‘wipe it off’. She did mention that he said so because he liked the natural look of her lips, but netizens found his behaviour to be ‘toxic’.
Many tweets and videos were shared dissecting their relationship, which was even termed unhealthy.
Now, Alia mentioned how the fact that Ranbir is not on social media, might have a part to play in all the trolling that they so often receive.
‘I have a very candid way of speaking. So when I talk about anything in my life, I like to imitate the person, give anecdotes, make it personal. I feel a lot of things get picked out of context, which happened recently with the video. My team told me ‘ye kuch out of hand jaara hai’. I was like, okay theek hai jaane do. Then I realise that there were serious articles written about how he was a toxic man, and I thought, ‘are we serious?’ There are many issues in the world to give more attention to,’ she said.
‘The only reason I feel bad is because he is genuinely the opposite… There is a line which I think is being crossed but you cannot say anything about it. Ranbir says this, ‘Alia the audience owns you, they can say whatever the hell they want to say about you, as long as your movies are doing well please don’t complain sitting in your apartment in Bandra',’ she added.
Recently, at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit, Alia had said that while she does feel bad about the nasty things she reads about herself or her loved ones, but she would never ‘fight with her audience’.
