Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan, on Saturday, took to Instagram and penned a cryptic note on cancel culture after Ranbir Kapoor got slammed for lipstick comment. She said how ‘people deciding for other people’.

Soni wrote, “What’s seeming increasingly idiotic: Cancel culture… People deciding for other people what is wrong with their lives. And then everyone jumping into some discussion or the other about things that actually have nothing to do with them. Funny times we live in.”

For the uninitiated, netizens recently slammed Ranbir Kapoor after Alia Bhatt revealed that he used to ask her to wipe off her lipstick when they were dating. They called the actor ‘toxic and controlling’.  A few hours later, Alia Bhatt took to Instagram and conducted ‘ask me anything’ session and answered several questions.
When a social media user asked her “what’s a great way to deal with toxicity and criticism?” The actress replied, “constructive criticism is the best way to grow. But words that are meant to hurt you can only hurt if you let them.” She further mentioned, “No one can take you who are away from you… cultivate a life so full of love and gratitude that toxicity wouldn’t even reach you.”

It all started when Vogue India recently shared a video of Alia Bhatt talking about unconventional beauty hacks. In the video, she applies a simple shade of pink (Pillowtalk), the same colour she wore on her wedding. Instead of applying her lipstick with her hand, the actress prefers to moving her lip across the lipstick.  Then, Alia subtly wipes off the lipstick to give it a more natural hue. The actress explains the reason behind this, ” “Because one thing my husband…when he wasn’t my husband but when he was my boyfriend as well… he would be like ‘wipe that off, wipe that off’ because he loves the natural colour of my lips.”
