Alia Bhatt, the renowned Indian actor, finds herself embroiled in controversy after facing criticism for her silence regarding the ongoing crisis in Gaza. Despite garnering attention for her appearance at the Met Gala 2024, Bhatt’s popularity has been overshadowed by accusations of neglecting to address the mounting humanitarian concerns in Palestine.
Following her captivating presence on the red carpet, discussions surrounding Bhatt’s surreal look quickly transitioned to condemnation over her purported indifference towards the Gaza crisis.

The movement, initiated by netizens, aims to hold celebrities accountable for their perceived apathy towards the plight of Palestinians and Israelis amidst the escalating conflict. Bhatt joins a list of personalities facing backlash for their silence on the matter, as social media users advocate for boycotting individuals who fail to use their platform to address humanitarian crises.
As the ‘Blockout 2024’ movement gains momentum, Bhatt’s omission from commentary on the Gaza crisis underscores the growing expectation for public figures to engage with pressing global issues.
