Reacting to the online trolling, Razdan said social media often reveals deeper truths about society and could even become an \u201cinteresting\u201d subject for sociological discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Soni Razdan Defends Alia Bhatt<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Razdan shared her views in the comments section of an Instagram post that defended Alia against the backlash she faced after a video from Cannes went viral online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>ALSO READ|<\/strong> <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/entertainment\/celebrities\/punjabi-singer-inder-kaur-s-body-recovered-from-canal-in-ludhiana-1844666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Punjabi Singer Inder Kaur\u2019s Body Recovered From Canal In Ludhiana; Brother Claims Accused Fled To Canada<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The post, shared by Shunali Khullar Shroff, argued that the reaction to the clip reflected more about public behaviour than Alia herself. It read, \u201cAlia Bhatt was ignored at Cannes. But India revealed something about itself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The post referred to a viral video in which photographers appeared distracted while Alia posed on the red carpet. Soon after, social media users began claiming that the actor had been \u201csnubbed\u201d by international media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWithin minutes, the internet decided: \u2018She got snubbed.\u2019 \u2018The West doesn\u2019t care.\u2019 \u2018She was humbled,\u2019\u201d the post stated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It further suggested that a single camera angle led people to interpret the moment as a form of \u201cnational humiliation\u201d, adding that many online users not only analysed the clip but also seemed to enjoy mocking it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>ALSO READ|<\/strong> <strong><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/news.abplive.com\/entertainment\/celebrities\/twisha-sharma-death-case-fir-wasn-t-filed-for-three-days-due-to-influence-twisha-sharma-s-friend-makes-explosive-claims-holds-protest-at-jantar-mantar-1844593\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u2018FIR Wasn\u2019t Filed For Three Days,\u2019 Claims Twisha Sharma\u2019s Friend From Modelling Days<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The post also pointed out what it described as India\u2019s complicated relationship with Western validation and celebrity culture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAlia Bhatt is already one of India\u2019s biggest stars &#8211; a National Award winner, global ambassador, part of international campaigns and massive films,\u201d the post added, highlighting the irony behind the criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It further noted how female celebrities are often subjected to harsher scrutiny and online ridicule.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After reading the post, Soni Razdan responded in the comments section, writing, \u201cSocial media is full of many things &#8211; love, information, entertainment &#8211; and a lot of hate.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd more than anything else, it reveals something about society.

Bought National Award. Bought global ambassadorship. Bought global presence. Even after all this, she still doesn\u2019t get recognised globally.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another wrote, \u201cThe discussion around Cannes should actually be about why it is no longer centred on independent cinema. Alia Bhatt doesn\u2019t deserve trolling merely for attending the festival.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A third user added, \u201cI don\u2019t think this is about gender. If it were, people would troll Aishwarya or Deepika too.
