Alia Bhatt is among the top stars in the ‘Blackout 2024’ protest list on social media.
Bollywood star Alia Bhatt has found her name included in the ‘Blackout 2024’ list doing the rounds on social media platforms, featuring many prominent international celebrities.
This comes after Alia wowed fashion enthusiasts with her stunning Sabyasachi saree appearance at the Met Gala last month, followed by the Gucci cruise show in London.
However, the actress now faces backlash allegedly for not bringing adequate spotlight on the recent Israel-Gaza conflict on social media.
Others on the blocked list as part of the digital protest campaign include Priyanka Chopra, Virat Kohli, the Kardashians, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, and other top Hollywood names.
The callout movement demanding these stars leverage their influence more proactively on pressing issues began a few months back, especially gaining traction after the Met Gala 2024.
Netizens are urging the boycott to encourage celebrities to support humanitarian causes through advocacy, such as seeking peace between warring nations.
While Alia continues soaring globally, this development has triggered a debate on celebrity advocacy amid complex geopolitical crises abroad.
However, several other stars like Mark Ruffalo have unambiguously supported de-escalation through their platforms and presence at awards shows.
