Social media users have criticised Ranbir Kapoor’s ‘controlling, toxic’ behaviour towards Alia Bhatt after the actress shared one of his habits in a recent video.
Netizens have taken rather unkindly to what they are claiming is ‘toxic’ behaviour from Ranbir Kapoor after his wife and fellow actor Alia Bhatt revealed some habits of his in a recent video. In a video where Alia spoke about her makeup hacks, the actress said that Ranbir would often ask her to wipe off her lipstick. In the comments section, many described this behaviour as controlling and chided Ranbir for it, while others saw this as just a cute gesture from a partner.
Vogue India shared the video of Alia Bhatt talking about unconventional beauty hacks. In the video, she applies a simple shade of pink (Pillowtalk), the same colour she wore on her wedding. Instead of applying her lipstick with her hand, the actress prefers to moving her lip across the lipstick. Then, Alia subtly wipes off the lipstick to give it a more natural hue. The actress explains the reason behind this, ” “Because one thing my husband…when he wasn’t my husband but when he was my boyfriend as well… he would be like ‘wipe that off, wipe that off’ because he loves the natural colour of my lips.”
Some fans expressed their displeasure around Ranbir’s behaviour with Alia. One commented on the vdeo, “The more I listen about Ranbir Kapoor the more I feel scared for her. If your bf/husband is telling you to wipe your lipstick that the biggest sign for you to run! It is not cute or funny at all! Can not believe the most celebrated actress at this moment of India is going through this.” Another commented while referencing a previous interview, “She is literally glorifying such misogynistic behavior. But why? Well she might think it’s cute but it’s not. Her husband doesn’t like if her voice goes above certain decibel, her husband legit orders her to wipe off the lipstick she be wearing. Based on how she’s narrating, it smells like misogyny.” Another comment read, “Ranbir does sound like a toxic husband.” Many other fans wondered why he was displaying such ‘controlling behaviour’.
In an earlier interview, Alia had claimed that Ranbir also does not like it when the actress raises her voice when she’s angry. She had told Vice, “I have to try very hard to control my anger because my husband does not like (it) when my voice goes above this decibel. Because he thinks it’s not fair and it’s important to be kind even when you are unhappy,” This interview had also received similar kind of backlash, where fans had described as Ranbir as a “controlling husband”.
Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor tied the knot last year in April and were blessed with baby daughter Raha last November. Both the actors worked together on Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva. Alia was last seen in Netflix’s Heart of Stone, her Hollywood debut, which released last weekend.
