Imtiaz Ali retracts statement about sending back ‘Highway’ crew member for hovering around Alia
Hours after Imtiaz Ali made a bizarre comment about women’s safety in cinema by sharing anecdotes, the filmmaker retracted his foot-in-the-mouth comment.
The Gangubai actress Alia Bhatt lambasted a media house for invading her privacy. The actress shared a collage of the pictures taken by two men of the media house from her Instagram account.
Alongside the collage of pics, she wrote with an angry note, reading: “Are you kidding me? I was at my house having a perfectly normal afternoon sitting in my LIVING ROOM when I felt something watching me… I looked up and saw two men on the terrace of my neighbouring building with a camera right at me!”
“In what world is this okay and allowed? This is a gross invasion of someone’s privacy! There’s a line you just cannot cross and it’s safe to say all lines were crossed today!” she added while tagging Mumbai Police in her gram story.

This isn’t the first time that the privacy of a Bollywood star was invaded. Actors have slammed the news portals on various occasions for the pathetic conduct of the media.
Anushka Sharma, too, shared an incident in a caption on her Instagram story under the same pictures of Alia Bhatt that read, “This is not the first time they are doing this. About two years ago, we called them out for the same reason! You’d think it would have made them more respectful of peoples’ space and privacy. Absolutely Shameful! They were also the only guys posting photos of our daughter despite repeated requests!”
Fans and some Bollywood Stars are rallying behind her and opposing the unwarranted and obnoxious behaviour of the media house.
