Soni Razdan has spoken on behalf of her daughter, Alia Bhatt, regarding the recent Cannes Film Festival 2026 controversy, which claimed that international paparazzi snubbed her on the red carpet. Calling it a “noise” on social media, the veteran actress strongly gave back to all the hate that came Alia’s way post her appearance at the film fiesta. Alia, who was at the event as a brand ambassador of a cosmetic brand, arrived at the red carpet across two days, multiple times. However, on one occasion, netizens claimed she was completely ignored by the shutterbugs. While her videos went viral, it even became one of the talking points of Cannes 2026, with many defending the Alpha star.
