‘Hypocritical, microscopic judgement!’ Alia Bhatt blasts allegations of botox, facial paralysis

Mumbai: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt has lashed out against rumours suggesting that she has undergone botox treatments that went wrong, leading to claims that she is "paralyzed on one side." In an Instagram story on Friday morning, Alia addressed these serious allegations and expressed her frustration with how casually such claims are made without any evidence.

Alia emphasised that she has no judgement against those who choose cosmetic procedures but is upset that unfounded rumours are being spread about her. “Absolutely NO JUDGEMENT towards anyone who chooses cosmetic corrections or surgery on your body, your choice But wow, this is beyond ridiculous!”

The actress added: “To the random video floating around literally claiming I've had Botox gone wrong (and to the numerous clickbait articles)-I have a crooked smile and a weird way of speaking, according to YOU This is your hypercritical, microscopic judgement of a human face.”

“And now you're confidently tossing around scientific explanations, 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.”

She added: “What's worse, you're influencing young, impressionable minds who might actually believe this garbage.” She questioned why these accusations are being made, stating that "none of it makes sense."

“Why are you saying this? For clickbait? Attention? Because none of it makes sense. Let's take a minute to address the absurd lens through which women are judged and objectified on the internet-our faces, bodies, personal lives, even our bumps are up for critique,” she added.

The actress encouraged celebrating individuality rather than scrutinising people harshly. “These types of judgments perpetuate unrealistic standards, making people feel like they're never enough. It's damaging, and it's exhausting And the saddest part? A lot of this judgement comes from other women. Whatever happened to "live and let live"?”

Alia asserted that everyone has the right to make their own choices regarding their appearance. However, she added: “Instead, we've become so accustomed to picking each other apart that it's almost normalised. Meanwhile just another day of even thorougher entertainment with scripts made up by the Internet.”
