Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt was spotted in Mumbai on Thursday (August 14), but the encounter took an unexpected turn when she confronted paparazzi for breaching a building's private premises. Several photos and videos from the incident have since gone viral on social media.
In the now-viral clip, Alia is seen stepping out of her car and walking towards a building entrance. However, instead of waiting outside the gate, a few photographers followed her inside, prompting the actress to call them out for their conduct. Visibly irritated but trying to maintain composure, she addressed them directly.
"Gate ke andar mat aaye. Aapka building nahi hai. Please bahar jao. Please bahar jao. Abhi aap jaaiye. Aapka building nahi hai... aap nahi aa sakte hai andar," she said firmly.
When the paps hesitated and did not leave immediately, Alia repeated herself in a sharper tone, saying, "Aap sunn nahi rahe ho. Aap bahar jao." She even pointed towards the gate, adding, "Aap bahar nahi gaye ho."
Only after the photographers stepped outside did Alia thank them, before closing the gate herself.
Earlier today, Alia was also spotted with her mother, veteran actress Soni Razdan, after they watched Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani's War 2 in theatres.
Several videos showing Alia enjoying a pickleball game have also surfaced on social media platforms.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Alia will be next seen in Alpha, co-starring Sharvari and Bobby Deol. The film is a part of YRF's coveted spy universe and is slated for 2026 release.
She also has Sanjay Leela Bhansali's highly-anticipated Love & War with actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal in the pipeline.
