Summary
- Alia Bhatt faced trolling over international media attention at Cannes.
- Sonu Sood defended her, calling her global stage presence an achievement.
- Alia wittily responded to a negative comment about not being noticed.
Alia Bhatt recently faced online trolling after a video from her 2026 Cannes Film Festival red carpet appearance circulated, with many alleging that international media and photographers paid her minimal attention.

Alia Bhatt demonstrated a composed approach to the online discourse. She shared a video of herself in a custom ivory silk saree-gown, which garnered positive reactions. When a user commented, "What a pity, no one noticed you," Alia responded with a witty remark, "Why pity, love? You noticed me :)".
On the professional front, Sonu Sood recently made his directorial debut with the action thriller 'Fateh,' starring alongside Naseeruddin Shah, Jacqueline Fernandez, Vijay Raaz, and Dibyendu Bhattacharya.
