Alia Bhatt’s Cannes 2026 Ignore Buzz Revives SRK, Deepika Talk; Hypocrisy Debate Intensifies

Alia Bhatt’s Cannes 2026 debut has snowballed into two major online debates. While a viral red carpet clip sparked claims that the actor was ignored by photographers — drawing comparisons to past global-stage moments involving Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone — her remarks on male-centric storytelling also triggered a fresh hypocrisy row linked to her support for Animal. The twin controversies have now turned Alia’s Cannes appearance into one of the festival’s most talked-about moments online.
