Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt found herself embroiled in controversy after she was spotted carrying a calf leather bag at a GUCCI event in Mumbai. The incident sparked outrage among netizens, who criticized her for being hypocritical, especially considering her recent remarks on animal cruelty.

Alia made a stylish appearance at the event, donning a chic black pantsuit that exuded boss lady vibes. However, it was her choice of accessory—a small leather shoulder bag—that drew sharp criticism from online users. A Reddit user pointed out that the bag was made of calf leather, sparking a debate on social media.

The user shared images of Alia with the bag, along with screenshots detailing its composition. The post, titled “Poacher producer Alia Bhatt promoting Calf Leather Bag,” quickly gained traction online. Netizens expressed disappointment at Alia’s decision to carry a calf leather bag, especially after her recent stance on animal cruelty.

The calf leather bag, weighing approximately 0.9 kg, comes with a hefty price tag of Rs 2.3 lakh. Many online users condemned Alia’s choice, calling her out for being hypocritical and insensitive to animal rights issues. Some argued that as a prominent figure, Alia had the power to choose alternative, cruelty-free options.

While some defended Alia, attributing her choice to limited options provided by GUCCI, others argued that she should have been more conscientious in her decisions, especially given her influence and platform.

Alia’s association with GUCCI as its first Indian global ambassador further fueled the debate, with some questioning the compatibility of her advocacy for animal rights with her endorsement of a luxury brand known for its leather products.

Meanwhile, Alia’s upcoming web series “Poacher,” directed by Emmy Award-winner Richie Mehta, has added another layer to the controversy. The show, in which Alia serves as an executive producer, sheds light on the dark world of poaching in Kerala, India. The juxtaposition of Alia’s role in the series and her choice of accessory has intensified the scrutiny surrounding her actions.
