Alia Bhatt's Cryptic Post Amidst Citizenship Controversy: What's the Real Story?
The fifth phase of Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra on May 20th witnessed a fervent display of civic engagement, notably highlighted by the enthusiastic participation of Bollywood celebrities. From the crack of dawn, luminaries such as Akshay Kumar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, and despite his bustling schedule with Nitesh Tiwari's film, Ranbir Kapoor, streamed into polling booths to exercise their democratic rights. However, the absence of Alia Bhatt during this significant electoral event sparked a heated debate surrounding her citizenship status, given her possession of a British passport and the lack of Indian citizenship.
Alia Bhatt, yet to respond directly to the citizenship controversy, subtly addressed the matter through a cryptic yet impactful Instagram post that quickly gained traction across social media platforms. In her story, she shared a poignant message: "Love, no argument, no matter how strong, can defeat that word," alongside the hashtag #TheGoodWord. This post, while not explicitly tackling the citizenship debate, resonated widely, capturing the attention of her followers amidst the swirling discussions.
The citizenship discourse surrounding Alia Bhatt gained further momentum when she confirmed her British citizenship during the promotional events for her Hollywood project "Heart of Stone." In an interaction with Gal Gadot, she openly acknowledged her British citizenship, attributing it to her mother's birth in Birmingham while affirming her own upbringing in India.
While the citizenship controversy brewed, Alia Bhatt continued to make strides in her professional pursuits. Her recent appearance in the romantic saga "Rocky and Rani" alongside Ranveer Singh garnered praise from critics and audiences alike. Looking ahead, Bhatt's plate remains full with upcoming projects including "Jigra" and a significant role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Love and War."
