Alia Bhatt, one of Bollywood’s leading actresses, recently addressed trolls who alleged that she had botox procedures that went wrong, causing facial paralysis. Although she’s often unfazed by online criticism, Alia chose to respond firmly this time.

In a recent Instagram story, Alia called out the accusations, mocking claims that labeled her with a “crooked smile” and a “weird way of speaking.” She stated, “Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone choosing cosmetic procedures—your body, your choice. But this is absurd! There’s a random  video out there suggesting I’ve had botox gone wrong and plenty of clickbait articles reinforcing it.”

Alia also dismissed the claim about facial paralysis, highlighting the lack of evidence: “Now you’re even adding ‘scientific explanations’ for these bizarre claims? There’s absolutely nothing to back it up!”

The actress expressed disappointment, particularly noting that many of the comments come from women. “It’s sad that, as women, we’re so accustomed to tearing each other down. Whatever happened to supporting one another? Every day seems like entertainment at the expense of celebrities.”

Additionally, Alia spoke about the relentless scrutiny women face online, from body image to personal lives. “Let’s take a moment to consider the damaging lens through which women are judged online—our bodies, faces, and personal lives are all open for criticism. This not only sets unrealistic standards but is exhausting and harmful.”
