Singer Rahul Vaidya and Aly Goni have publicly come to the defence of Alia Bhatt after she faced trolling over her appearances at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Alia, who represented India and a global beauty brand at the event, recently became the subject of online criticism following a viral video from her red carpet appearance.
In the clip, Alia was confidently walking the Cannes red carpet as international photographers captured her look. Despite this, some social media users mocked her, alleging she was not receiving enough attention or recognition from the international media. The actress faced online trolling after a video from her Cannes appearance went viral, with some claiming she was not getting the deserved spotlight.

Rahul Vaidya took to social media to address this. He wrote, “Funny how people sitting with zero achievements become fashion critics, Cannes analysts, and global PR experts overnight. At least Alia Bhatt is out there representing India on one of the biggest global platforms, looking absolutely stunning, owning her space, and making her presence felt.”
He further added, “Not every moment needs screaming crowds and manufactured hype to validate someone’s worth. Real stars don’t beg for attention—they carry it naturally. The obsession some portals have with tearing successful women down for clicks is honestly embarrassing now. Negativity gets views, but talent, hard work, and grace always outlive cheap headlines. She looked beautiful. She IS a huge star. And most importantly, she’s talented enough to not need validation from Instagram comment sections. Maybe instead of constantly trying to humble successful people, learn to appreciate Indians shining globally.”
Aly Goni also voiced his support earlier this week, sharing his thoughts on social media. He posted, “It’s sad when our own people try to pull down someone who has worked so hard to put India on the global stage.” Praising Alia for her representation, he added, “Instead of mocking and trolling, we should celebrate and support those who make India shine internationally.”
