Its very hard to believe considering the way post for these ppl esp Alia😆 but back in 2014 I actually used to like her after watching 2 States (overall pretty average but her personal best performance till date IMO) & Humpty promotion though I remember calling out her expressions as stiff as cold turkey in the actual film review thread.
Khair I still liked her even defended her on occasions😆then after hearing about all hype & acclaim for an otherwise Flop Highway I finally watched it and to say I was underwhelmed by her phoney screechy performance would be an understatement, then she goes on to Filmfare Best Actress Critics award over Tabu's class apart act as Ghazala in Haider who got snubbed down as Supporting Actor just so that Alia could win and give that sappy dramebazi wali speech dedicated to Papa Kjo made me see things with more clarity.
Then the entire Parineeti scam which had happened came out in open, Dates blocked in hoax project ka one of the biggest example is back in 2013 when Parineeti was much bigger & acclaimed star than beti bhatt, Kjo came into rescue he not only lobbied and got every bound script out there for aloo but also blocked Parineeti (from whom Alia was oh so evidently jealous back then) by promising her a Karan johar directorial opposite Ranbir Kapoor it was called Mr & Mrs Tapori, she admitted in IVs to have refused films like Piku, Udta Punjab etc for that one big film then Kjo went ahead and announced ADHM leaving Pari high n dry, yeah she obviously is to be blamed for her own dumb choices & weight obsession but she was definitely done dirty.
The extent of overhyping by industry & media of her one note nostril flaring performances is I realized when insiders tried to project her as showstealer of Kapoor & Sons (well atleast they got the stealer part right😆)
She is probably the only celebrity that I would say I detest, while industry hype her as best thing since sliced bread (full-fledged articles hain bhai claiming the same) IMO its the opposite, she is one of the worst thing to have ever happened to the industry, its not to do with her below avg looks, acting or dancing skills but her shrewdly curated & manufactured rise created a mould and paved way for other such mediocre cronies
Last but not the least she reeks of insecurity & smugness even in IVs nd stuff, considering I had been an ardent Varun fan kuch zyada hi jhelna pada hai isko, and hated how she single handedly destroyed Kalank(the most awaited film for me at that time) bcoz of her whims & desperation to outshine all by being in every frame with or without a reason
So here's sharing one of the most unbearable IV of hers IMO
