Alia Bhatt gets trolled for calling Alpha her 'first action film'; Netizens remind her about Jigra

Alia Bhatt stunned onlookers at Milan Fashion Week with her striking gothic ensemble while representing Gucci as its global brand ambassador. During the event, she discussed her upcoming film Alpha, a female-led project in the YRF Spy Universe, slated for release on December 25.

Alia described Alpha as her 'first action film,' sparking controversy among fans who pointed out her action-packed roles in Jigra and Heart of Stone. Some fans defended Alia, arguing that Alpha is her first full-fledged action movie, unlike her previous films that had only a few action sequences.

What exactly Alia Bhatt said

The actress expressed her excitement, saying, "Wow, it's pretty close. That's a big one for me because it's my first venture into action and I'm really curious to see how the audience connects with that."

Fans debate about Alia’s statement

Alia's comment sparked reactions online, including on Reddit, with many social media users pointing out her action skills in Jigra and Heart of Stone.

One user quipped, "You're calling Alpha your first action film? What about Jigra and Heart of Stone – weren't those action-packed?" Another chimed in, "Looks like Alia's rewriting her filmography – Shaandaar, Sadak 2, Kalank, Jigra, and Heart of Stone all seem to have vanished!"

Some social media users have noted that Alia doesn't acknowledge or comment on her less successful films. Comments like "Shhh, we never talk about Sadak, Kalank, Heart of stone or Jigra" reflect a sentiment that both the audience and she would prefer to forget these projects.

A debate has arisen about Alia's action roles, with some pointing out that action scenes in her previous films weren't well-received. While one fan defended her, noting "Alpha" would be her first full action film, others argued that previous films didn't qualify as action movies, citing the limited number of action sequences.
