Alia Bhatt on Monday announced her first pregnancy with hubby Ranbir Kapoor via an Instagram post. While the actress has been making it to the headlines for the good news, she seems to be irked by certain reports and she has expressed her disapproval of patriarchal news stories being circulated on the internet. 

While good wishes have been pouring in from all over, Alia Bhatt was also deeply disappointed in some of the misogynistic media coverage she received.

Taking to her Instagram stories Alia reacted strongly to a news report and informed that her projects are not being delayed. 

A previous report suggested that Ranbir Kapoor would be travelling to the UK to bring Alia Bhatt home.


Well, the coverage did not seem to go well with her and she slammed the report pointing out that she doesn’t need to be picked up and that she was a parcel and that she does not need to rest. 

Alia Bhatt wrote on her Instagram Stories:

“Meanwhile we still live in some peoples heads we still live in some patriarchal world .. fyi. Nothing has gotten delayed!!!! No one needs to PICK anyone up. I am a woman not a parcel!!! I do not need to REST at all but good to know you'll have a doctors certification as well. This is 2022. Can we pls get out of this archake way of thinking! Now if you would excuse me … my shot is ready (sic).”

While announcing the pregnancy, Alia Bhatt shared a picture of herself with Ranbir Kapoor at the doctor’s office announcing her pregnancy. Later, Alia even took to Instagram to share a gratitude post for all the good wishes she has received.
