Alia Bhatt trolled for endorsing sugar products - Page 3

There seems to be another piece in the puzzle that we probably aren't aware of.

Their incentive can't only be money cuz there must be another thing they're trying to balance -- like maintaining relationships with the top guns of these brands they probably don't wanna upset.... for a whole bunch of reasons like sponsorships for starters.

Either way, it ends up looking weird and hypocritical when celebrities who hit the gym daily and watch their diet closely promote stuff they wouldn't be caught dead with.

I'm sure they don't care about the public flak it gets them as long as they're taking care of their priorities either. So who cares if people bash them for their seemingly poor choices?!

Another way to look at this is that as long as you keep exercising and maintain a balanced diet you can eat these sugar filled products. The problem with Alia’s reaction and subsequent declaration of sugar being the devil is that it can be construed as a conflict of interest with these junk food companies. She either has a very lax contract with them or the companies themselves are not willing to raise a stink with one of the top stars.

She is endorsing to get money.

Celebs should never preach.

Bin Pende ke Lote hai sab. Preach but never practice is their mantra. Nobody should take them seriously.

True true.

I stopped taking any of the celebs seriously, even my favourites. They will do what they gotta do, just find better role models.

Not everything needs to be overly analysed and scrutinized.

YES it does

Welcome to this hell hole - the internet

So how many people trolled her? Three.

And what's with this labeling everyone a troll..these people just gave their opinion and pointed out the double standards. Even few celebs r opinionated..would we call them trolls?

As for Alia, on TKSS she also said that one can consume sugar as in fruits..poor girl must have thought Frooti contains just fruits😛

So, I went on YouTube to see if she really said sugar was bad, and I wasn't expecting the loud and screechy anti-sugar tea meltdown 🤣

I do love her but no-one is beyond scrutiny, and I quite strongly dislike hypocrisy, so yeah. She should be called out I suppose, what else is social media for?

But, this is also just surface level, somewhat faux outrage. And we all love pointing out things that may be contradictory in others, but haven't we all gone back and forth on things like food and diet preferences? I mean, I was a vegetarian at one point, heading for veganism, but now I eat more meat than I ever did before I became veggie (take me to the woods and shoot me) ☺️

Celebrity endorsements in general should be taken with a pinch of salt/sugar. Like, as if Beyonce, Britney, P!nk really drank Pepsi 🤪 - it's all about making some money and increasing their visibility/popularity - but I do respect the hustle either way, if Pepsi offered me $3,000,000 to endorse the brand for 6 months I would probably accept the offer, and buy my mum a house and buy lots of designer shoes or whatever. That's humans for you. 😎

Sugar isn't unhealthy. It's only unhealthy if consumed in excess.

Compared to that, the Vimal gutka/elaichi whatever Ajay Akshay and SRK endorse are actually harmful.

Alia not consuming sugar is her personal choice. She isn't doing it for health reasons but to maintain a toned body which is required for her work.

Not everything needs to be overly analysed and scrutinized.

Best analysis 😉

my reaction was to you calling people idiots. 😆 other than that, yeah I agree that they shouldn't be throwing their brand down the drain with these cheap, hypocritical ads.

I love both hence only called them idiots, if it was Deepika, than wording would have bee harsher😆

I don't think anyone can realistically claim they never consume sugar. Almost everything we eat breaks down to sugar.

Sugar isn't bad. Excess sugar is bad. Some sugars are more likely to lead to health issues than others.

Just because someone is cutting down sugars or avoids sugars doesn't mean they dislike sugars or never consume sugars. We are all humans and almost all of us are often satisfied by indulging the sweet tooth.

This is getting so ridiculous. In the name of wokeness, we really have tons n tons of velle people judging every move of someone who is at least not jobless unlike them & harassing them.

People sims to have problem with everything these days
