Alia Bhatt is experiencing significant success, achieving numerous milestones such as breaking box office records, making her Hollywood debut, winning a national award, and impressing at the Met Gala.
The actress has now added another achievement to her list by debuting at Paris Fashion Week 2024, where she represented India alongside fellow L’Oréal brand ambassador Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Both stars looked fabulous in their designer outfits; Aishwarya donned a striking off-shoulder red gown from the French brand Mossi, while Alia wore a custom piece from Gaurav Gupta Couture.
Alia’s outfit was described by the designer as a ‘metal-cast silver breastplate with intertwining snakes and birds,’ paired with black sharara trousers, making her debut a standout moment. However, some netizens criticized her ramp presence, suggesting she lacked the charisma typically expected of models. Comments included remarks about her being more suited to acting than modeling, and others questioning her fit among taller models.
Critics referenced Alia’s connections to filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and mentor Karan Johar, suggesting nepotism influenced her appearance. Some expressed skepticism about her participation, arguing her shorter stature made her less compatible with taller models. Conversely, many fans defended her, expressing pride in her representing India and criticizing negative comments from other Indians.
In your view, did Alia impress with her confident runway walk, or do the trolls have a point regarding her lack of charisma?
