Alia Bhatt was observed at the airport on June 15, 2023, as she boarded a flight for Brazil. The actress wore a stylish yet relaxed outfit to the airport. Alia chose a heart-shaped cardigan and accessorised it with cosy denim trousers, and she looked lovely. Raha’s mother accentuated her natural cosmetics look with a subtle touch-up that included nude lipstick and flushed cheeks. However, Alia’s adorable response to being addressed as “sita ma’am” and “sita ji” and her attempt to cover her face from the paparazzi caught everyone’s attention.
For those who don’t know, Alia Bhatt is a part of the latest worldwide advertising campaign for Gucci. A clip from the same video that had Alia advocating for gender equality made its way to social media. Alia was seen in the video discussing women’s empowerment. It was not well received by the internet community, who subsequently began mocking the actress for the way she was heard speaking. While some online commenters even though Alia was merely delivering a script without any emotion, others made fun of her for her ideas on gender equality.
