'This is a clear invasion of privacy': Alia Bhatt condemns viral video of her new bungalow
Bollywood star Alia Bhatt on Tuesday strongly reacted to a viral video of her new under-construction bungalow in Mumbai, calling it an invasion of privacy.
In a long post on Instagram, the 32-year-old actress wrote: "I understand that in a city like Mumbai, space is limited - sometimes the view from your window is another person's home. But that does not give anyone the right to film private residences and push those videos online. A video of our home - still under construction - has been recorded and circulated by multiple publications, without our knowledge and consent."
"This is a clear invasion of privacy and a serious security issue. Filming and photographing someone's personal space without permission is not 'content' - it's a violation. It should never be normalised," she wrote.
Making a humble request to not share these clips that are making the rounds online, Alia wrote, "Think about it, would you tolerate videos of the inside of your home being shared publicly, without you knowing? None of us would. So here's a humble but firm request - if you come across such content online, please don't forward it or share it further."
"And to our friends in the media who have carried these images and videos, I urge you to take them down immediately. Thank you."
Several media reports stated that Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are set to move into their dream home, Krishna Raj bungalow, in Mumbai this Diwali.
The bungalow, worth Rs. 250 crore, has been under construction for several years now.
The news reports accompanied a new video of the bungalow that surfaced on social media and instantly became viral.
As per reports, the bungalow will be ready completely for the couple to move into with their daughter, Raha.
Ranbir and Alia, two Bollywood A-listers, tied the knot after years of dating in 2022.
Located in Bandra, the bungalow was far from completion when the couple got married.
The two actors have often been papped visiting the under-construction building at regular intervals to check on the progress of the work.
On the work front, Alia and Ranbir will feature together for the second time on-screen after Brahmastra, courtesy Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next Love & War which also features new acting sensation Vicky Kaushal in the lead.
Alia will also feature in Alpha which stars Sharvari as the co-lead.
