Alia Bhatt Cannes ‘Insult’ Video Goes Viral – The 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival has officially begun, and true to form, Bollywood’s ‘Gangubai’—Alia Bhatt—once again dazzled on the red carpet. However, this time the conversation isn’t just about her look; it centers on a viral video that has divided the internet.
Alia’s ‘Royal’ Avatar in a Yash Patil Gown
This time, Alia opted for a truly unique landscape-print ball gown, created by Indian designer Yash Patil. With minimal makeup and simple accessories, Alia looked nothing short of a real-life princess. Her mother, Soni Razdan, and mentor, Karan Johar, also left comments expressing their pride on her photos.
Was Alia Really ‘Ignored’?
A video is currently going viral on social media, claiming that while Alia was posing, international photographers were looking elsewhere instead of clicking her pictures.
What is the truth?
Multi-tasking is a common occurrence at major international events. Often, photographers are waiting for a major Hollywood star or are focused on specific assignments from their agencies. Alia’s presence at the same event alongside Spanish racing legend Carlos Sainz proved that her global influence is steadily on the rise. Claims of being “ignored” are often merely the result of specific “camera angles” and “edited clips.”
The world of the internet can be a cruel place! Trolling Alia, some users wrote comments like, “No one there is paying her any attention,” while others remarked, “Everyone is just waiting for Aishwarya Rai (the true Queen of Cannes).” Well, the trolling is one thing, but Alia’s confidence stands entirely on its own! After the glitz and glamour of Cannes, Alia is set to return and focus once again on her work commitments. She currently has a lineup of major projects:
Love & War: In this Sanjay Leela Bhansali film, she will be seen alongside her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and Vicky Kaushal. It is scheduled for release on January 21, 2027. The first female-led film in the YRF Spy Universe, in which she will be seen performing intense action sequences alongside Sharvari Wagh.
The film also features Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol in pivotal roles. More important than who is looking at whom on the red carpet is the fact that Indian stars are carving out a space for themselves on the global stage. How did you like Alia’s ‘royal’ look? Do let us know in the comments!
