"Stop Judging Me!" Alia Bhatt Reacts To Trolls About Her Smile And Botox Claims (Image: Instagram/aliabhatt)
A video has been circulating online recently claiming that Alia Bhatt‘s unique speech and smile are due to a botched Botox treatment with creepy captions and comments followed by body shaming and criticism. Now, the actress took to Instagram to refute these claims and condemn these practices of spreading misinformation and judging someone’s physical appearance as she posted a desperate note on Instagram.
Alia clarified that her smile is natural just the way it is she has a distinct way of speaking, which is being unfairly scrutinised by social media. She expressed frustration over baseless claims and the spread of misinformation. She wrote, “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. 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.”
According to Alia, such rumours are harmful especially to young minds who may believe them. She emphasised the broader issue of women being judged and objectified based on their appearance. Alia also stressed the importance of celebrating individuality and rejecting unrealistic standards. She noted that these judgments often come from other women perpetuating a culture of criticism.
“Let’s take a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet faces, bodies, personal lives, even our bumps (!!!) are up for critique. We should be celebrating individuality, not tearing it apart under a microscope. These types of judgments perpetuate unrealistic standards, making people feel like they’re never “enough.” It’s damaging, and it’s 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,” she added.
