Alia Bhatt announced her pregnancy just two months after marrying Ranbir Kapoor. The couple was showered with congratulations, but Alia was subjected to online shaming for embracing motherhood so early in her life.
Alia Bhatt is currently on the road promoting her upcoming film Darlings. Alia’s production debut through her banner Eternal Sunshine Productions, in collaboration with superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, makes the dark comedy extra special for her.
Shefali Shah, Vijay Varma, and Roshan Mathew also play lead roles in the film. Apart from her illustrious Bollywood career, Alia is also embarking on a new chapter in her life, as she is expecting her first child with husband Ranbir Kapoor. Alia, 29, announced her pregnancy on Instagram in June, just two months after marrying fellow Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor, 39.
While the couple was showered with congratulations, Bhatt was subjected to online shaming for embracing motherhood so young in her life.
She recently revealed details about her professional and personal life decisions. “Everything a woman does makes headlines. Whether she has decided to become a mother, is dating someone new, is going to a cricket match, or is going on vacation. For some reason, the spotlight is always focused on women’s fashion choices “In an interview with PTI, the actor stated.
Alia, who revealed her pregnancy while filming her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone in London, was quickly targeted for making a life-altering decision at the pinnacle of her career. The actor, who has appeared in films such as Highway, Udta Punjab, Raazi, and her most recent release Gangubai Kathiawadi, will celebrate a decade in the industry this November.
Of course, I’m young, but why should that change anything? Why should having a family or a child alter my professional life? They are entirely different things. I would continue to and prefer to lead by example and action rather than paying attention to nonsense “She stated.
People’s opinions don’t bother her, she says, adding that she believes in following her heart.
Those people’s opinions, in my opinion, show where they are in life.” It says nothing about where I am. In fact, many of the decisions I’ve made in my life — singular, unrelated to anyone — have occurred when they were least expected. Great things do not happen by chance.
What I consciously want to do is follow my heart and my instincts and gut feelings. That’s exactly what I’ve done in my professional and personal lives, and it’s worked out beautifully,” she explained.
Bhatt said she found support from many unknown people on various platforms during the social media controversy surrounding her pregnancy, which made her aware of the evolution of society at large.We are in 2022, so now people are questioning that. I saw some articles (about me) where people were commenting, ‘What is your problem? Let her be’. I feel it (the change) is automatically happening and one doesn’t really need to pay too much attention,” she added.
