Western media addresses Alia Bhatt as Aishwarya Rai, netizens say, ‘they are taking revenge for Jhandeyaaa and Tommy’

With her first appearance at the Met Gala 2023, where she rocked the runway in designer Prabal Gurung's couture, Alia Bhatt is currently ruling the headlines. The actress appeared ethereal in her pearl-studded outfit. Now, social media users are reacting to a video of Alia that has gone viral in which American paparazzi refer to her as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. They are dragging Zendaya and Tom Holland into the discussion in the comments. 

If you're wondering why Tom and Zen are being discussed by fans under Alia's video, it's because the Spider-Man actors recently visited India to attend NMACC, and while posing for pictures, you could hear Indian media calling them by hilarious names.

'Bolly Blinds & Gossip' posted to their official Reddit account and shared a video of American paparazzi referring to Alia Bhatt by the name of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at the Met Gala in 2023. In the video, Alia can be seen smiling while posing at the iconic runway stairs. Watch the video below:

Reacting to Alia’s video on social media, a user commented, “They are taking revenge for jhandeya and tommy.” Another user commented, “American paps taking their “yeh shakira hai kya” revenge.” A third commented, “😳 Well damn, this really was a reality check for Alia. Hollywood really don’t know of her existence.” While another comment read, “Jhandeya ikde ikde” ka badla le rhe h.”

On the work front, Alia Bhatt will next be seen with Ranveer Singh in Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani. Alongside Gal Gadot and Jamie Dornan, she will also be making her Hollywood debut in The Heart Of Stone. Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif's Jee Le Zaraa from Farhan Akhtar is another project the actress has.
