Amid much buzz, Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt made her glamorous appearance at the opening night of the Cannes Film Festival 2026 on May 12, 2026. While her peach couture gown and exquisite jewellery grabbed eyeballs, her look wasn't the only thing that sparked conversations online. A clip of Alia Bhatt from the red carpet has now sparked intense discussion among Indian fans.

Video shows Alia Bhatt being ignored at the red carpet

In the video now doing rounds on the internet, Alia is seen confidently walking onto the iconic Cannes red carpet, smiling, waving at the crowd, and blowing flying kisses while posing for cameras. However, netizens noticed that despite stepping on the red carpet with confidence, blowing kisses, and smiling while posing, her presence did not garner enough attention even as she patiently waited for the photographers to click her pictures. Netizens also noted that the photographers were rather focused on other celebrities walking past Alia, than her.
