Did
Alia
Bhatt
undergo
a
botched
Botox
procedure?
The
actor
slammed
rumours
floating
on
the
Internet,
especially
referring
to
a
video
claiming
the
same,
in
a
long
post
on
her
Instagram
Stories.
‘Absolutely
NO
JUDGEMENT
towards
anyone
who
chooses
cosmetic
corrections
or
surgery-your
body,
your
choice.
But
wow,
this
is
beyond
ridiculous!’
Alia
writes.
‘To
the
random
video
floating
around
literally
claiming
I’ve
had
Botox
gone
wrong
(and
to
the
numerous
clickbait
articles)
–
I
have
a
“crooked
smile”
and
a
“weird
way
of
speaking.”
according
to
YOU.
‘This

‘These
are
SERIOUS
claims
being
casually
thrown
out
there
with
zero
proof,
no
confirmation,
and
absolutely
nothing
to
back
it
up.
‘What’s
worse,
you’re
influencing
young,
impressionable
minds
who
might
actually
believe
this
garbage.
Why
are
you
saying
this?
For
clickbait?
Attention?
Because
none
of
it
makes
sense.
‘Let’s
take
a
minute
to
address
the
absurd
lens
through
which
women
are
judged
and
objectified
on
the
internet-our
faces,
bodies,
personal
lives,
even
our
bumps
(!!!)
are
up
for
critique.
‘We
should
be
celebrating
individuality,
not
tearing
it
apart
under
a
microscope.
These
types
of
judgments
perpetuate
unrealistic
standards,
making
people
feel
like
they’re
never
“enough.”
It’s
damaging,
and
it’s
exhausting.
‘And
the
saddest
part?
A
lot
of
this
judgment
comes
from
other
women.
Whatever
happened
to
“live
and
let
live”?
To
“everyone
has
the
right
to
their
own
choices”?
Instead,
we’ve
become
so
accustomed
to
picking
each
other
apart
that
it’s
almost
normalized.
‘Meanwhile
just
another
day
of
even
thorougher
entertainment
with
scripts
made
up
by
the
Internet.’
