Alia Bhatt Faces Backlash After Alpha Movie Statement

Words can spread like wildfire, and Bollywood beauty Alia Bhatt has felt that heat. The actress recently said her upcoming film Alpha is her “first action movie” at the Gucci Spring/Summer 2026 fashion show in Milan. The comment went viral immediately and sparked criticism online like a fire. Many fans pointed out that Alia has already done action scenes in films like Raazi, Jigra, and even the Hollywood film Heart of Stone so how can she slip like that?

Social media critics pointed out that calling Alpha her first action movie seemed to ignore her previous action films. Some suggested it was because those earlier films didn’t make a big impact. Fans shared clips from Raazi, Jigra, and Heart of Stone to show she had already done fight sequences and stunts. Many felt her comment was careless and questioned why she would downplay her own work.

On the other hand, a section of her loyal fans is rushing to defend her. They argue that what Alia meant was different, that Alpha is her first movie made fully in the action genre, unlike her previous films, which only had limited fight scenes or a mix of drama and emotion. In that sense, her words may not be wrong. Raazi leaned more on espionage drama, while Jigra had emotional depth and less combat. With Alpha, she is stepping into a high-octane, all-out action film for the first time.

The debate is still trending across platforms. Clips from Milan, fan edits, and old movie fight scenes are being shared to prove or dismiss Alia’s claim. For now, the actress remains silent on the backlash. But one thing is clear, whether it is her movies or her words, Alia Bhatt rarely escapes the spotlight. Alpha has already gained publicity even before its release, and the controversy may end up adding to the film’s buzz.
