A video has been doing rounds on the internet which claims that Alia Bhatt has this certain way of speaking because she’s had a botched botox treament. On Friday morning, the actress took to Instagram to steer clear on these claims and slam this sort of a video.
Alia wrote, “Absolutely no judgement towards anyone who chooses cosmetic correction 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 the numerous clickbait articles) – I have a crooked smile and a ‘weird way of speaking’ according to you.”
She further added, “This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgement of a human face. And now you’re confidently tossing around ‘scientific explainations, 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.”
What’s worse according to Alia is that such claims are influencing young mids who might actually believe this sort of ‘garbage’. She further spoke about the larger picture as to how women are judged so much based on their looks, bodies and faces. “Let’s take a minute to address the absurd lends 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.”
She further added how these judgements perpetuate unrealistic standards making people feel that they are never enough. It’s damaging and it’s exhausting, said Alia.
The ‘Jigra‘ actress further concluded her stand by adding, “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 thorough entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet.”
