Alia Bhatt faced heavy trolling after co-hosting the Screen Awards 2026 in Mumbai. She shared the stage with Zakir Khan and Sunil Grover.
Clips from the event quickly went viral on social media. Many users criticised her live hosting skills. Viewers pointed out that performing on stage is very different from acting in front of a camera.
Several netizens felt Alia lacked comic timing and stage presence. Her delivery appeared nervous, and her expressions seemed forced. This led to widespread trolling online.
One segment drew particular attention. Alia compared 2019 and 2026, mentioning filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Mohit Suri, and Aditya Dhar.
Some users compared her act to Ellen DeGeneres at the Academy Awards. They claimed similarities in both script and style. This comparison further intensified criticism.
Social media reactions were harsh. Comments pointed to weak comic timing and lack of audience response. Many described the act as overacting and uncomfortable to watch.
Despite her strong filmography, this moment affected her public image. Alia has delivered acclaimed performances in Raazi, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahani, and Gangubai Kathiawadi.
The incident highlighted the challenges of live hosting. Real-time performance exposed gaps in her anchoring skills. What was meant to be a glamorous event turned into a viral trolling episode.
Looking ahead, Alia has major projects lined up. These include Alpha and Love & War directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
These films are expected to be important for her career. It remains to be seen how audiences respond after this episode.
