Alia Bhatt Addresses Ranbir Kapoor Being Termed ‘Toxic’: Contrary to the online narrative, Alia Bhatt recently shared her perspective on the internet’s characterization of Ranbir Kapoor as ‘toxic’ and a ‘red flag.
‘ Several months ago, the controversy ignited when Alia disclosed that Ranbir disapproved of her wearing lipstick and would request her to remove it, leading to widespread criticism. While Ranbir responded to the backlash last month, Alia discussed the issue on the latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 8.
During the conversation with Karan Johar, Alia expressed that Ranbir is not accurately portrayed by the internet. Karan brought up the frequent discussions about Ranbir in Alia’s interviews, to which she responded by explaining her candid communication style. She shared that her intention is often misinterpreted, leading to unnecessary controversies.
Alia Bhatt revealed that her team warned her about the escalating situation but initially dismissed it.
However, she later acknowledged the seriousness when articles started portraying Ranbir negatively. She emphasized that Ranbir is the opposite of what people are suggesting and felt upset about the misunderstandings.
Karan agreed, stating that Ranbir’s public image doesn’t align with his true personality. Alia mentioned that Ranbir advised her not to be bothered by public opinions as long as her movies are successful. Kareena Kapoor, also present on the show, concurred with Ranbir’s viewpoint.
In a previous month’s Zoom chat with fans, Ranbir addressed the controversy, expressing support for the fight against toxic masculinity. He stated that he aligns himself with those opposing such behaviors and is willing to be a face for the cause.
Both Alia and Ranbir have responded to the internet’s portrayal of their relationship, asserting that reality differs from the online narrative.
