Alia Bhatt’s fans come to her defence after BLACKPINK Jennie’s fans make racist remarks: ‘Do you know who she is?’ | Bollywood-OxBig News Network

Alia Bhatt’s fans defend her from Jennie’s fans

Numerous Jennie fans took offence to Alia’s fans pointing this out, with many making posts on Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) insulting the actor and India as a whole. Some made fun of Alia’s looks, pulling out some of her unflattering pictures and calling her a ‘nobody’, while others made racist remarks about the country’s supposed lack of cleanliness and education.

One incensed Alia fan wrote on X, “B***h do u even know who she is? Her movie RRR was nominated fr OSCAR and a song from same movie won GOLDEN GLOBE. She is global brand ambassador of Gucci. Now what has your girl achieved?? This Diva made her country proud in Metgala meanwhile ur girl got trolled.”

Another defended her, saying, “Kid Alia has double the acting experience Jennie has in music, a hit one at that. That song is a Pritam (artist) song, Alia was the actress in the film. Rani was her character name. You are hating the wrong person here. Get a grip.”

One Reddit user stated that they ‘did not want to generalise’ but called K-pop fans ‘some of the worst’, writing, “i don’t mean to generalize but the k-pop and taylor swift fanbase are some of the worst fanbases. with k-pop fans, they spare no one. If its a man, call him a creep without any evidence, if its a woman, call her a pick-me and ugly. If its PoC then racism and sexism.”

One fan even rationalised and wrote, “Why is Alia getting these remarks? She had nothing to do with producing or singing it. Are these nincompoops just attacking her for featuring in it?” Another commented, “Being a fan doesn’t mean you need to be disrespectful and racist. You can defend Jennie without being ignorant and racist. India has one of the biggest entertainment industries in the world, and Alia Bhatt is a huge star. Stay in your lane and keep the convo about music, not hate.”
