Actress Alia Bhatt has come under heavy social media backlash after a viral post on X accused her of being an opportunist. The tweet claimed she strategically aligns herself with successful filmmakers to secure major projects. The post quickly gained traction online.
The viral tweet pointed to several examples. It noted that after SS Rajamouli’s Baahubali, Alia appeared in RRR. After Nag Ashwin’s Kalki 2898 AD, she was reportedly set to collaborate with him on a female-led film. Following Stree’s success, she is said to be in talks for Chamunda.
Another controversy added fuel to the debate. Social media users accused Alia of trying to befriend Yami Gautam to get closer to Aditya Dhar. This came after the success of Dhurandhar, with users speculating she was aiming for a future collaboration.
The original tweet described Alia as someone who builds relationships based on recent box office success. According to the user, this approach helps her secure high-profile films. The claim intensified debate around networking and privilege in the industry.
The controversy grew further after an alleged screenshot showed Ananya Panday liking a critical tweet about Alia. This sparked discussion on whether insiders also believe the allegations. No clarification has been issued regarding the screenshot.
Users also pointed out that since her debut in 2012’s Student of the Year, Alia has enjoyed an advantage over many peers. They attributed this to strong industry connections and timely associations. These discussions revived long-standing debates around favoritism in Bollywood.
At present, Alia Bhatt is facing intense online scrutiny. Some users have even given her the nickname “Chur-alia,” suggesting she takes projects meant for others. The actress is currently working on YRF’s Alpha with Sharvari and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love and War with Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
