While Alia graced the Cannes red carpet in a beautiful nude-hued monogrammed GG sari by Gucci, she turned heads, dropped jaws, and looked absolutely stunning.
As she represented India at the global event, PR agencies simultaneously began sharing videos of Ranbir Kapoor taking care of their daughter, Raha.

Though the video seemed like a classic “husband material” brag about Ranbir, fans weren’t buying it.
Aside from a few who aww-ed at the father-daughter moment, many pointed out that it was literally the bare minimum—a father taking care of his child.

They criticised how media outlets and PR agencies set the bar so low that something as basic as a man parenting his own child is made to look like an extraordinary act.
They argued that if Alia were taking care of Raha while Ranbir was at work, such videos would hardly surface. It reflects a deeper mindset of how women are still seen as the default caregivers, while men doing the bare minimum are celebrated.

Others commented that this isn’t just a media problem but a societal one. Society continues to hype up the most basic acts by men, while constantly demanding more from women, even when they’re already going above and beyond.
The videos were filled with sarcastic comments about how Ranbir’s bare minimum is being glorified, exposing a deeper flaw in societal expectations.
The media holds influence. If it continues to glorify basic behaviour and praise actors for simply doing what’s expected, it will lead to deeper repercussions in how we shape gender roles in society.
