Actress Alia Bhatt is once again in the spotlight, this time for a lighthearted yet controversial comment she made during her recent appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show. While promoting her upcoming film Jigra, Alia shared an amusing anecdote about her experience at the 2024 Met Gala, where she wore a stunning couture saree designed by celebrity designer Sabyasachi.
In a clip shared after the episode, Archana Puran Singh, a permanent guest on the show, asked Alia how she managed to go to the washroom while wearing her elaborate outfit, which featured an exaggerated train. Alia’s candid reply—“I didn’t go to the washroom for like 6 hours”—has since become a source of amusement and criticism on social media.
Alia’s comment quickly turned into fodder for online trolls, who had a field day making jokes about her “struggle.” Under a post shared by a paparazzi account, one user sarcastically remarked, “Not going to washrooms for 6 hours is now her struggle… 😂😂 oh my god how hard her life must be 🤣.” Another commenter chimed in, saying, “Struggle hai bhai struggle👏🙌,” while yet another user playfully referenced Ananya Panday’s past remarks about her struggles, writing, “Le Ananya Pandey: Behen teri life main to muj se bhi zyada struggle hai.”
Some comments took a more irreverent turn, with suggestions for adult diapers. One user quipped, “Please wear adult diapers 😂😂,” while another added, “Relax guys, diaper pehna hoga😂😂.”
Despite the mockery, it’s hard to ignore the sheer elegance of Alia’s Met Gala outfit, which undoubtedly made a statement on the red carpet. The breathtaking train and the intricately designed saree caught the attention of fashion enthusiasts, leading many to appreciate the effort that goes into such elaborate attire.
While Alia Bhatt’s comment may have ignited a wave of humour online, it also serves as a reminder of the scrutiny star kids often face regarding their experiences in the industry. Whether or not the “struggle” is genuine, it seems that for now, Alia’s fashion statement and the ensuing jokes will continue to captivate the internet.
