‘This is a clear invasion of privacy and…’ – Firstpost

In her latest post on Instagram, actress Alia Bhatt has slammed the paparazzi for circulating videos of her new home.

The actress wrote- “I understand that in a city like Mumbai, space is limited – sometimes the view from your window is another person’s home. But that does not give anyone the right to film private residences and push those videos online. A video of our home – still under construction – has been recorded and circulated by multiple publications, without our knowledge or consent.”

She added, “This is a clear invasion of privacy and a serious security issue. Filming or photographing someone’s personal space without permission is not “content” – it’s a violation. It should never be normalized.”

Alia Bhatt also wrote- “Think about it: would you tolerate videos of the inside of your home being shared publicly, without you knowing?”

None of us would. So here’s a humble but firm request if you come across such content online, please don’t forward it or share it further. And to our friends in the media who have carried these images and videos: I urge you to take them down immediately.”

In a recent interview with author Jay Shetty, Alia Bhatt made some bold revelations. The actress talked about her anxiety diagnosis and said, ” “It often happens to me when I see an A-list celebrity, whether from Hollywood or even here, speak about something I relate to. And I think, ‘Oh, they’re feeling it too.’”

She added, “It happens to all of us. That’s when I became more open to talking about my specific anxiety. I was recently clinically diagnosed, so I had proper backing, not just saying, ‘Oh, I’m having an anxious day.’ It’s not just that.”

Alia continued to explain, “I was struggling, which is why I sought help. In social gatherings, my body would physically react. I’d start heating up. I also found it hard to focus; my attention kept drifting in and out.”
