After months of marriage, Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor revealed their first pregnancy in late June. She posted on social media, “Our baby….. arriving soon.” Days following the disclosure, a rumour circulated that Ranbir may fly to the UK, where Alia was filming her Hollywood debut, Heart of Stone, and fetch her home because she was expecting.
Responding to the claims, Alia had slammed, “Meanwhile we still live, in some people’s heads, a patriarchal world. FYI, nothing has gotten delayed. No one needs to pick anyone up. I am a woman, not a parcel. I do not need to rest at all but good to know you’ll have a doctor’s certification as well. This is 2022. Can we please get out of this archaic way of thinking? Now if you would excuse me. My shot is ready.”

Opening up about her anger behind the words, Alia said that she finds such things extremely outdated and regressive. “If in the garb of writing a positive article if you are actually going to be saying things like ‘oh a woman’s life is now totally going to go topsy turvy’ that’s a bit unfair. You are not saying that about the man, the man is also going to have the child. So, why is it only for the woman?”
“The only reason I reacted is because it was going for a hardcore commentary, so it woke the feminist in me with knives and all guns. It’s not about me personally, you can say whatever the hell you want about me, I dont give shi* but if you are making a commentary on a woman in general, who is actually working since the beginning of (her) pregnancy. That’s what pissed me off. The fact that I don’t respond has made it clear that I have,” she further added.
