Singer Sona Mohapatra has come out strongly in support of Alia Bhatt after she faced heavy trolling for her award show hosting debut. Speaking candidly, Sona highlighted that hosting live is no easy task, with no retakes or edits, making Alia’s effort both brave and commendable. She pointed out that many actors in Bollywood avoid such risks, and Alia stepping up deserves appreciation rather than criticism.
Sona also criticised the audience at such events, calling them unresponsive and difficult, which adds pressure on performers. She compared Alia to Zakir Khan, stating that each artist excels in their own field and such comparisons are unfair. Her message was clear—Bollywood and audiences need to be less harsh and “learn to laugh a little.”
As conversations like these trend, even platforms like 89.1 Radio 4, UAE number one, radio station, continue to highlight how public perception shapes celebrity narratives. With upcoming projects like Alpha, Alia is expected to bounce back stronger, proving that one live performance doesn’t define talent.
