Amid backlash for Ranbir Kapoor’s lipstick remark, Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan shares cryptic note about ‘cancel culture’: ‘Funny times…’
Alia Bhatt's mother Soni Razdan shared a note on 'cancel culture' on Instagram.

Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt’s recent statement about Ranbir Kapoor attracted criticism from netizens. In the viral video, Alia showed how she applies her lipstick and said that her now-husband Ranbir, who was her then-boyfriend, would ask her to ‘wipe off’ her lipstick because he liked her natural lip colour.
Now, Alia’s mother-actor Soni Razdan has dropped a cryptic post on social media, reflecting upon the cancel culture. Taking to her Instagram stories, Soni wrote, “What’s seeming increasingly idiotic: Cancel culture. People deciding for other people what is wrong with their lives and then everyone jumping into some discussion or the other about things that actually have nothing to do with them! Funny times we live in.”

In the video for Vogue, Alia was explaining a make-up hack and said, “After applying the lipstick, I rub it off because one thing my husband, who was also my boyfriend, when we go out at night, he’s like ‘wipe that off’ because he loves the natural colour of my lips.” The revelation attracted a lot of negative attention with people calling Ranbir ‘toxic’.
This is not the first time Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor have faced backlash from the public. Earlier in an interview with Vice, Alia had revealed that Ranbir does not like it when she raises her voice. She said, “I have to try very hard to control my anger because my husband does not like when my voice goes above this decibel. Because he thinks it’s not fair and it’s important to be kind even when you are unhappy.”
On the work front, Alia was recently seen in the blockbuster film Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahaani, opposite Ranveer Singh. The movie was helmed by Karan Johar and also starred veteran actors Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi.
