So proud to see Alia representing India at Cannes! 🇮🇳 Her airport look is so chic yet comfortable - typical Alia style. Can't wait to see her red carpet appearance. And Atomic Habits is such a great book choice!

Why do we make everything about politics? Some people were really trying to connect her Cannes visit with India-Pakistan tensions? 😑 Let's just appreciate our artists without dragging geopolitics into everything.

Alia's book choices show she's not just a pretty face but also someone who values self-improvement. That 'I'm worth it' makeup bag is such a mood! More power to her ✨

While I'm happy for Alia's success, I wish our media would give equal coverage to regional cinema artists too. Bollywood isn't the only film industry in India, yaar!

The spy universe is getting too crowded now. First Tiger, then Pathaan, now Alpha, War 2... Hope the quality doesn't drop with so many films. But I trust Alia to deliver a solid performance as always.
