Beyond ridiculous: Alia Bhatt slams trolls claiming part of her face paralysed due to botox going wrong

Mumbai/IBNS: Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has slammed the trolls for calling part of her face "paralysed" due to the botox going wrong, stating the comments are "beyond ridiculous".

Alia shared a long note on her Instagram story hitting out at the videos and articles that claim her expressions suggest botox going wrong.

The 31-year-old actress wrote, "Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery-your body, your choice. But wow, this is beyond ridiculous! 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."

She added, "What's worse, you're influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage. Why are you saying this? For clickbait? Attention? Because none of it makes sense. Let's take a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet-our 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. Meanwhile just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet," the actress added.

On the work front, Alia was last seen in Vasan Bala's Jigra, which had failed to garner momentum in the box office and also received mixed reviews.

Jigra, which is produced jointly by Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and Alia's Eternal Sunshine, features Vedang Raina in the lead.

Alia will next feature in Alpha.
