Why Is Alia Bhatt Such A Soft Target For Trolls? Alia Bhatt was born in the laps of luxury, opportunity and stardom. Born to Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan, the 23-year-old was presumed to become an actress. Alia did not disappoint. Since childhood, the lass was overly dramatic about everything. So, as she turned 19 and completed basic education, acting seemed like the natural choice. Alia smashed everyone’s wits with her performance in Student of the Year. A Karan Johar film was the best launch she could have and she nailed the part. She reminded us of Kareena Kapoor Khan as ‘Pooh’ in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, only better considering it was her debut! Celebrity news was abuzz with praises for the lass. But, to survive in the industry, apparently, good performance doesn’t do. On Karan Johar’s chat show Koffee With Karan, Alia didn’t fare well in a General Knowledge rapid fire round and the entire world couldn’t stop talking about how dumb she is. It was as if people were waiting for her to make a mistake. That was just the fuel celebrity gossip sites needed for tearing her image down. Criticism for star kids comes easy from us. They are privileged, more fortunate, and hence must pay a price for it.

But, Alia Bhatt is truly a representation of India’s contemporary. Instead of lashing out or getting bogged down, she starred in a video that made fun of her and projected to the society how judging comes easy to people. A cluster of Bollywood personalities starred in the video, including her father Mr. Mahesh Bhatt! With her actions Alia shrugged off the issue giving it the necessary (little) attention. Instead of dwelling over it, she continued her work. Highway released and the film bowled everyone over! Alia Bhatt’s audience was not expecting her to be half this matureA girl who was abused in her childhood, getting kidnapped and developing Stockholm syndrome. Bollywood news portals couldn’t stop gushing about this young power packed performer! Suddenly, all trolls subsided.
Trash makes more news than good news, though. So, recently, Alia was trolled (again!) for her statements on feminism. This time Alia Bhatt did not want to go through the trouble of another expensive comedy video to prove a point. She simple got on to Twitter and explained in simple words why she said what she did. But, is asking explanation from her, time and again, a fair idea? That’s a debatable topic. But, no matter what muck you throw at this smart, talented woman, she is going to shrug her shoulders and continue doing her work, and that’s something we love Alia for!
