Fans quickly took to social media to show their support for the couple, criticizing the paparazzi for overstepping boundaries. One fan remarked, “They are so close to them! Zero respect for privacy and personal space. These paps are terrible.” Another observed, “I think Alia was upset, and Ranbir was just trying to protect her.” Several others pointed out Alia’s unusual demeanor, noting that she typically smiles at the paparazzi, but this time kept her eyes down, appearing withdrawn.
Addressing Baseless Rumours This incident comes on the heels of a day filled with online speculation about Alia’s appearance. A viral video had falsely claimed that she underwent a cosmetic procedure that went wrong, suggesting that part of her face was paralysed. Addressing these baseless rumours, Alia took to Instagram to set the record straight.
In her post, Alia clarified, “Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery – your body, your choice. But wow, this is beyond ridiculous!” She criticized the clickbait culture that spreads such unfounded rumors and highlighted the harmful impact it could have on young, impressionable minds. “What’s worse, you’re influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage,” she added.
The incident has reignited discussions on social media about the importance of respecting celebrities’ personal space and the consequences of unchecked speculation in the age of social media.
