Alia Bhatt, who announced her pregnancy in the month of June, was trolled brutally for embracing motherhood early in her life and at the peak of her career. The news came just 2 months after her much-discussed wedding with Ranbir Kapoor. Now, as the mom-to-be gets busy promoting her first film as a producer, Darlings, Alia reacted to the trolling in an interview with a media agency.
In the interview, the actress told, "Everything a woman does is put in headlines. Whether she has decided to become a mother, she is dating somebody new, she is going for a cricket match or on a holiday. For some reason, the eyeballs are always on women’s choices."
She further said motherhood will not change her professional life. "Of course, I am young, but why does that have to change anything? Why does having a family or a child have to change my professional life? They are two completely different things. I would continue to and prefer to lead by example and action as opposed to giving any attention to the nonsensical things," Alia added.
Hitting back at trolls, she said, "To me, the people having those opinions show where they are in life. It doesn’t say anything about where I am. In fact, a lot of decisions that I have made in my life — singular, not in any relation to anyone — have happened when it was least expected. You don’t plan great things, they just happen. What I consciously want to do is follow my heart and go with my instinct and gut. That’s exactly what I have done through my professional and personal life and things have worked out beautifully."
