After Virat Kohli, Alia Bhatt loses her calm

We all know that Virat Kohli got into an ugly spat with a journalist a few days back. He was under the impression that he (the journalist) had published a story about his personal life. Although he apologised to the confused journalist as soon as he came to know about the misunderstanding, the incident went viral and he got flaks from his teammates and seniors.

The next celebrity to have lost her cool with media is the bubbly actress Alia Bhatt, who is known to have played sport whenever her IQ and General Knowledge have been questioned in the past; all thanks to the one time mistake she committed by stating Prithviraj Chauhan as the President of India in a chat show.

Ever since then, jokes and trolls on Alia have become common, and people from media and the film industry keep taking a dig at her for this. The incident was followed by a line of jokes, memes and trolls, and the hashtag #YoAliaSoDumb trended for a good few days.

Alia also showed that she is not someone who would easily get offended by starring in a short video where she takes training to improve her IQ. The video was made by the YouTube channel All India Bakchod (AIB), whose founding member Rohan Joshi was rumoured to be dating Shaheen Bhatt, Alia’s sister.

Even at the recently held AIB Roast, which was in news for all the wrong reasons, Alia’s IQ was questioned and mocked at by the same AIB team, and she was seen laughing and enjoying while sitting in the audience.

Apparently, the actress has had enough of this. At a recent award show, when a journalist asked why people celebrate Holi, obviously with the motive of another scoop of news to make headlines, the actress got miffed and left the altar, only to return and shoot back at him, asking if he knew who the President of South Africa or China was?

The question must have brought her the memories of the night when Alia made that remark on the President of India, because otherwise, there was no question related to any President.

Well, we certainly do believe that Alia has been a sport for quite some time now, and it’s high time that people stop asking her stupid questions.

Team Business Insider India believes in serving entertaining news to its readers but certainly not at the cost of someone’s comfort. Now that Alia has made her stand clear that she is no more comfortable with such remarks, we hope that her wish is respected and no further questions or remarks are shot at her.
