Alia Bhatt slams reports claiming she's undergone cosmetic surgery: Are you kidding me?

Alia Bhatt has slammed reports that have suggested that she has undergone cosmetic surgery recently. In a long note shared on her Instagram story, Alia slammed trolls and critics for their misleading articles and videos suggesting that her expressions had changed due to Botox misuse.

She expressed her frustration over unfounded claims about her having a "crooked smile" and a "weird way of speaking" and called out the casual nature of such serious accusations without any evidence.

Alia also addressed the harmful effects of such rumours, particularly on young, impressionable individuals who might take such "clickbait" seriously.

Alia Bhatt 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."
