Mumbai: Alia Bhatt recently called out social media and media handles for circulating private videos of her Pali hill residence without her family’s consent.
In an official statement, shared on her Instagram handle, Alia pointed out that this act amounts to invasion of privacy and a serious security issue.
While netizens agreed with Alia’s firm statement, ‘Bigg Boss’ contestant Payal Rohatgi’s reaction to the ‘Jigra’ actress’ privacy concerns left netizens red faced.
Re-sharing Alia’s post, Payal wrote, “That does not come under invasion of privacy. Your sexual act with your husband or another man comes under invasion of privacy.”
She added, “@aliaabhatt sharing location of your house is not INVASION OF PRIVACY. Hope u get basic common sense. Influencers make videos on streets (PUBLIC) and there are houses in background. Get yourself security and cameras as u can afford them but kindly use rationale. This is not history but common sense.”

However, Payal’s distasteful remarks didn’t go down well with the netizens, who took to the comments section to slam her.
An user wrote, “Yikes, obsessed with Alia’s sex life? This is beyond perversion and she can be arrested for harassment on social platforms. Bigg boss contestants should mandatorily undergo self-admission to mental health hospitals for 30 days before stepping outside in open spaces.”
Another shared, “people be saying anything these days to stay relevant, she’s such a massive hater.”
A netizen claimed, “I think she just wants people to talk about her or remember she exists because no one really does.”
Another comment read, “This woman is just desperate for fame, even if it means attacking other people. Back during the lockdown, she kept posting videos targeting Kareena and her son, but nobody really paid attention to her. That’s exactly how she should be treated now too.”
