Alia Bhatt shuts down Botox rumours, calling out online judgment and unrealistic beauty standards while focussing on her upcoming film 'Alpha'.

Alia Bhatt Responds to Botox Rumours,  Calls Out Unrealistic Beauty Standards

<p>Alia Bhatt shuts down Botox rumours, calling out online judgment and unrealistic beauty standards while focussing on her upcoming film 'Alpha'.</p>

<p>Alia Bhatt recently addressed false rumours claiming she&rsquo;d undergone Botox treatments that went wrong, causing a 'crooked smile.' On October 25, the actor responded on her Instagram stories, openly dismissing these claims.</p>
<p>She began by clarifying that she holds no judgment towards anyone who chooses cosmetic procedures, emphasizing that it&rsquo;s 'your body, your choice.'</p>
<p>However, she called the rumours about her appearance &ldquo;beyond ridiculous,&rdquo; referring to a viral video and several clickbait articles that spread unverified information about her.</p>
<p>Alia criticized those spreading 'scientific' explanations without evidence, suggesting she has facial paralysis. She pointed out that these rumours reflect 'microscopic negative judgment' and noted that such false claims could influence impressionable minds, leaving young fans to believe in this 'garbage' simply for attention or clicks.</p>
<p>The Jigra actor also spoke out against the broader issue of objectifying women and judging them for their appearance, lifestyle choices, and even their bodies.</p>
<p>Alia expressed how damaging these unrealistic judgments can be, making people feel inadequate. She stressed that these negative standards are exhausting and often come from other women, questioning why society cannot adopt a &ldquo;live and let live&rdquo; approach.</p>
<p>She concluded by saying that people have grown used to such baseless judgments, which now seem normal, thanks to internet culture.</p>

Alia Bhatt’s 'Jigra' Faces Backlash: Actor Bijou Thaangjam Calls Out Unprofessionalism

<h2>Alia Bhatt's film<em> '</em>Jigra' faced criticism for its poor box office performance and accusations of unprofessionalism from actor Bijou Thaangjam.</h2>

<p>Alia Bhatt's latest film, Jigra, directed by Vasan Bala, has been making headlines recently, but not for positive reasons. Released on October 11, the film received mixed reviews and had a disappointing opening weekend at the box office. Adding to the controversy, Bijou Thaangjam, a Manipur-based actor, accused the film's makers of "unprofessional behavior."</p>
<p>Bijou took to his X account to share his experiences during the casting process for Jigra. He explained that he was initially approached for a role but felt left in the dark throughout the process, which resulted in lost opportunities with other projects. He stated, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not writing this with any agenda or accusations. I just want to share the reality of how actors like me from the Northeast are often treated by big production houses. Hopefully, this sheds some light on what we face.&rdquo;</p>
<p>In his post, Bijou shared that he was contacted by the casting team in 2023 and sent audition tapes twice over four months. He was told he would start shooting in December, but no firm dates were provided. Despite this, he was expected to keep himself available for filming. He highlighted that he made it clear he needed travel arrangements from Imphal, Manipur, but his concerns were not addressed.</p>
<p>Bijou noted that he was left waiting for updates throughout December, with the last communication being a vague message on December 26 stating they were "waiting for a revert." This lack of clarity led him to miss out on other roles, as he was kept on standby. He concluded his statement by saying, &ldquo;The way they handled this entire situation was deeply unprofessional. For actors like me from the Northeast, it felt particularly dismissive.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The film's release has also been surrounded by accusations from Divya Khossla Kumar, who claimed Alia Bhatt rigged box office numbers. While Alia has not publicly responded, Karan Johar shared a note on social media suggesting that sometimes silence is the best response.</p>
<p>Jigra opened with only ₹4.25 crore on its first day, marking Alia&rsquo;s worst box office opening in a decade, and has since earned ₹16.75 crore overall, with a third-day collection of ₹5.65 crore.<br>&nbsp;<br><br></p>

<p>Her friends, however, were aware of her struggles,&ldquo;We always knew.&rdquo; Alia expressed her surprise at the diagnosis, saying, &ldquo;This is not some sort of revelation. But I didn&rsquo;t know.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She discussed moments when she feels most present: when she is acting in front of the camera and when she spends time with her daughter, Raha.</p>
<p>She said, &ldquo;I understood why I am at peace in front of the camera. I&rsquo;m most present in that moment.&rdquo; She highlighted stating, &ldquo;These are the two moments in my life where I am more peaceful.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Earlier in September, Alia had also opened up about how her ADHD influenced her wedding preparations. She chose a natural and minimal makeup look because she found it challenging to sit for extended periods in the makeup chair.</p>
