Alia Bhatt was recently seen in Vasan Bala's film, Jigra co-starring Vedang Raina. Even though the film was one of the much-awaited, it underperformed at the box office. Amid this, the actress has hit back at those who claimed she had a crooked smile, was paralyzed on one side, and more. She also criticized a section of news media that had published reports claiming she had undergone a botched Botox procedure. Addressing the rumours and reports, Alia said that this is beyond ridiculous.
Alia Bhatt's strong reaction to people saying she has crooked smile
On October 25, Alia Bhatt took to her Instagram account and penned a long note addressing those videos where they said that the actress has a crooked smile, or has a weird way of speaking.
She wrote, "Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery-your body, your choice. But wow, this is beyond ridiculous! To the random video floating around literally claiming I've had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles) - I have a "crooked smile" and a "weird way of speaking," according to YOU."

Bhatt further added, "This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgment of a human face. And now you're confidently tossing around "scientific" explanations, claiming I'm paralysed on one side? Are you kidding me? These are SERIOUS claims being casually thrown out there with zero proof, no confirmation, and absolutely nothing to back it up."
Addressing the claims, Alia said they are influencing young, impressionable minds who might believe this garbage. She also took a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet faces, bodies, personal lives, even the bumps are up for critique.
The Jigra actress said that people should be celebrating individuality, not tearing it apart under a microscope and these types of judgments perpetuate unrealistic standards, making people feel like they're never "enough" which is damaging and exhausting.
"And the saddest part? A lot of this judgment comes from other women. Whatever happened to "live and let live"? To "everyone has the right to their own choices"? Instead, we've become so accustomed to picking each other apart that it's almost normalized. Meanwhile just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet," her note concluded.
