Alia Bhatt had been noticeably ignored by the paparazzi when she walked the red carpet during the Cannes Film Festival. As she posed for them in multiple outfits, she seemed to have been overlooked by the photographers. To make matters worse, the videos and photos that were surfacing online didn't help her case.

Fans began noticing how, even during celebrity interactions, she was being left out, and people were talking over her. The actress responded to these trolls via her Instagram comment section. A fan was trolling her by saying, "What a pity no one noticed you".

As she completes her time at the 2026 Festival, she replied to the comment, "Why pity love? You noticed me:)."
