Alia Bhatt gets trolled for calling Alpha her 'first action film'

Alia Bhatt’s recent remarks about her upcoming movie Alpha have sparked a lively debate across social media. During her appearance at the Gucci Spring/Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week, the actor described Alpha, slated for release on December 25, 2025, as her “first action film.”

What seemed like a simple statement quickly turned into a talking point, with fans and critics reminding her of earlier projects that featured heavy action sequences.

Alia Bhatt, who attended the Milan event as Gucci’s global brand ambassador, expressed excitement about the YRF spy-universe project directed by Shiv Rawail and co-starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol. Reflecting on her role, she said, “Wow, it’s pretty close. That’s a big one for me because it’s my first venture into action, and I’m really curious to see how the audience connects with that.”

Her comments, however, didn’t sit well with many. Users pointed out that Bhatt had already been part of films like Jigra and the Netflix Hollywood release Heart of Stone, both of which showcased her in action-oriented roles. Some argued that even movies like Kalank and Sadak 2 had portions that leaned into action drama. Social media was flooded with sarcastic remarks, memes, and Reddit threads questioning why the actor seemed to dismiss her earlier filmography.
