Ranbir Kapoor, is now being labeled as ‘toxic’ and a ‘red flag’ by internet users. This controversy erupted after an earlier incident where Alia mentioned Ranbir’s preference for her natural lip shade, causing widespread criticism and trolling on social platforms.
During the recent Koffee with Karan Season 8 show, host Karan Johar raised the topic, questioning Alia about the accusations of constantly discussing Ranbir. Alia responded, expressing her candid nature in discussing personal anecdotes and imitating people she talks about. Bhatt reflected on the controversy, stating, “I feel like a lot of things just get picked out of context… My team told me ‘ye kuch out of hand jaara hai’… I thought, ‘are we serious?’ There are many issues in the world to give more attention to.”

Alia Bhatt further defended Ranbir, highlighting that the allegations contradicted his true nature, revealing Ranbir’s advice to her regarding public scrutiny, “Alia, the audience owns you, they can say whatever the hell they want to say about you, as long as your movies are doing well please don’t complain sitting in your apartment in Bandra.”
The controversy stemmed from Alia Bhatt’s revelation during a Vogue tutorial about removing lipstick due to Ranbir’s preference for her natural lip shade. This led to online backlash, with users condemning Ranbir’s stance and advising against similar behavior in relationships.
Shifting focus to their professional endeavors, Alia is currently working on ‘Jigra’, a project she’s both starring in and producing alongside Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions. The film is scheduled for release on September 27, 2024. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor is gearing up for the release of ‘Animal’, co-starring Rashmika Mandanna and Anil Kapoor, slated to hit screens on December 1.
Apart from ‘Animal’, Ranbir Kapoor is set to star in the much-anticipated epic drama ‘Ramayana’, showcasing his diverse acting spectrum and adding anticipation to his upcoming cinematic ventures.
