Soni Razdan Responds to Trolling of Alia Bhatt at Cannes Film Festival

Mumbai. Actress Alia Bhatt's video from the red carpet of Cannes Film Festival 2026 went viral on social media, after which she started being trolled.

Now, Alia's mother and actress Soni Razdan's reaction to this trolling has been made public.

In fact, writer Shunaali Khullar Shroff had shared a detailed post on Instagram in support of Alia. Soni Razdan also gave her reaction by commenting on the post where Shunaali gave a strong reply to the trolls. In her post, Shunaali mentioned that people like to see a successful woman fall.

In the video clip that went viral on social media, Alia Bhatt was seen posing on the red carpet while photographers' attention was diverted elsewhere. Taking this as a basis, internet users started claiming that Western media was ignoring Alia.

On this matter, Shunaali Khullar Shroff said that the red carpet at Cannes is always full of chaos. Mentioning that photographers shout, change different angles, and turn cameras when big stars arrive, she clarified that it is completely wrong for the entire country to consider it a national insult by looking at just one camera angle.

Later, Soni Razdan also replied in the comment section. She wrote, 'This shows the true face of our society. A very interesting debate can start on this from a societal perspective, which can be discussed and studied for many years to come.'

Shunaali further wrote in her post about the mentality of targeting successful women that people are not just watching this video, but are enjoying it. There is a strange competition in our society to get praise from Western countries, and along with this, people look for opportunities to bring down their own country's stars.

Alia Bhatt is already one of the biggest stars in India. She is also a National Award winner and a Global Ambassador. People often create such fabricated stories to bring down successful women.

Earlier, Alia herself had responded to a troll in her Instagram post. A user had commented on a picture of Alia's ivory saree, 'What a pity, no one even noticed you there.' To this, Alia calmly and gracefully replied, 'You noticed me.'

Alia Bhatt made her appearance on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival for the second consecutive time this year. She made her debut here in 2025.
