After her appearance at the Cannes <\/a>Film Festival, Alia Bhatt<\/a> found herself at the centre of an online storm. While many praised her red-carpet looks, trolls were quick to dissect her fashion choices, with some social media users even claiming that a section of photographers appeared to ignore her during the event. Now, film critic Anupama Chopra<\/a> has claimed that the backlash was part of a paid campaign driven by insecure actors.<\/p>\n

\"AtAt that time, Alia Bhatt also gave it back to trolls through a comment on social media.Anupama Chopra on Alia Bhatt Cannes row<\/p>\n

Recently, Anupama sat down to chat with actor Shahid Kapoor<\/a> for a video on The Hollywood Reporter India. The remark came during the conversation with Shahid, when Anupama raised the issue of growing insecurity among actors today. Citing Alia\u2019s Cannes appearance this year, she pointed to the trolling the actor faced online, and it being a paid PR campaign against her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, we were at Cannes, and one of the first interviews I did there was with Alia, and then over the successive few days, I watched just the awful, graceless trolling and conversation and negativity and all of that, right?\u201d Anupama said.<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cAnd then a couple of days ago, somebody said to me that\u2026 And this is not somebody who’s just like an outsider, but somebody who is deeply embedded in the business, and somebody whom I trust\u2026 So, that somebody said that this was actually paid campaigning against her because actors today are so insecure. I said that doesn’t even make any sense. What is happening?\u201d She then asked Shahid whether the actors are more insecure than they have ever been today.<\/p>\n

The video of Anupama talking about Alia has emerged on social media and is catching everyone\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n
