Alia Bhatt heavily trolled for praising Yami Gautam's performance in Haq

Haq made its debut on the OTT platform Netflix, starring Emraan Hashmi and Yami Gautam. Celebs and Bollywood insiders praised Yami Gautam's performance and storyline. Alia Bhatt shared a post on her social media account praising Yami Gautam and called herself 'a Yami fan', which instantly made her the subject of trolling.

Alia Bhatt trolled over calling herself a "A Yami fan"

Alia Bhatt received backlash for praising the performance of Yami Gautam in Haq. She shared an Instagram story where she applauded Yami Gautam's performance. She also revealed that both actresses engaged in a call where they expressed their best wishes for Yami Gautam.

Alia says Shazia Bano's role was one of the most exceptional female characters in the Indian cinema, and she is now a Yami fan. She cannot wait for Yami Gautam's future projects.

What really came as a surprise was how netizens immediately called her out and suggested that there are hidden intentions of Alia Bhatt to promote the film because she or any star kid has not promoted an outsider's work like that. She has not praised her best friend Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, which became one of the biggest commercial successes recently.

Few netizens suggested that Alia Bhatt is making efforts to establish a connection with the filmmaker Aditya Dhar after the massive success of Dhurandhar through his wife, Yami Gautam, to land a project directed by him, even though she did not share a single post on the success or release of the movie.

Netizens have started drawing comparisons between actresses and their acting skills, which brought previous controversy on the Filmfare awards in 2024 for the best actress category. Alia and Yami have not responded to the criticism and have remained professional amid the backlash.
