There is a new uproar in the streets of Bollywood. A big news has come out regarding the name of our beloved Alia Bhatt, which has created a stir on the internet. Has Alia really changed her name to Alia Kapoor? This question is echoing everywhere and the reason behind this is a viral picture, which has sparked a big debate among the fans.
What is the whole matter?
As we all know, Alia Bhatt is married to Bollywood heartthrob Ranbir Kapoor. Ever since the wedding, there were reports that Alia wanted to add her surname ‘Kapoor’. But as they say, the life of stars is also very busy! Due to her tight schedule, Alia had not been able to complete these formalities till now. But now a small glimpse of her latest vlog has given a big hint to the fans.
In fact, in a clip of her vlog, Alia was standing in a hotel room, where she was given a grand welcome. And do you know what was written in that welcome message? “Dear Alia Kapoor!” That’s it! This one line added fuel to the fire and created a storm on the internet. Fans are speculating that maybe Alia has finally changed her name in her official documents.
So is Alia Bhatt now Alia Kapoor?
Now let’s talk about the fact check. In an interview given to Mid-Day, Alia herself revealed that her screen name will always be ‘Alia Bhatt’. That means in films and in public we will know her as Alia Bhatt. But yes, she also said that she wants to add ‘Alia Bhatt-Kapoor’ or ‘Alia Kapoor’ in her official documents like passport etc. She told that this will be easier for travel and other things. So, the hotel case is indicating that she has completed the paperwork. Alia has already introduced herself as ‘Alia Bhatt Kapoor’ in Kapil Sharma’s show and Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’.
What do fans say? Some people did not like it!
As soon as this news came out, there was a flood of reactions from people on social media. Some people do not like Alia’s name change at all.
A Reddit user wrote, “But she will always be Alia Bhatt for me, the name has weight now. It is now a brand name.”
Another user said, “Well, it is her choice to keep whatever surname she wants, but I think ‘Alia Bhatt’ suits her more. ‘Alia Kapoor’ sounds too ordinary. I think there will be an Alia Kapoor in every block of South Delhi. I hope she never changes it publicly.”
A third user wrote, “Alia, your name is Alia Bhatt. It is a brand in itself sweetie.”
Some people are also in support!
At the same time, there are some users who have fully supported Alia’s decision.
One user wrote, “Funny how people are getting triggered here over a woman taking her husband’s last name.”
Another said, “Alia had said Kapoor will be added legally as it will be easier for travelling and other things. She will continue to use Bhatt as her screen name.”
One person simply wrote, “Her choice and her decision.”
So guys, it is clear that Alia Bhatt has added the surname ‘Kapoor’ in her official documents, but she will always be ‘Alia Bhatt’ on screen and for us. It is her personal decision and at the end of the day, the happiness lies in her being happy! Let us know in the comments what you think about this!
