During Makar Sankranti celebrations on January 14 and 15, people across India participated in traditional kite flying and shared festive treats like tilgul laddoos.

Critics pointed out the apparent contradiction in Alia promoting luxury brands like Gucci while also raising concerns about cruelty during kite flying. Many questioned why she endorses brands whose products may involve animal exploitation and branded her a hypocrite for doing so. Social media users widely shared screenshots of her story while criticizing her stance.
Some netizens further highlighted the selective nature of such concerns, questioning why Alia and a few other celebrities often focus on Hindu festivals like Makar Sankranti or Diwali while ignoring the fireworks and animal harm during New Year celebrations. Despite the backlash, this is not the first time Alia has been trolled for voicing opinions against festival practices. Other celebrities have also faced criticism for posting messages against traditional rituals or practices.
Alia Bhatt’s Makar Sankranti post has once again stirred debate on social media, igniting discussions about celebrity responsibility, animal welfare, and selective activism.
