Alia Bhatt faces backlash as she shares Ranbir Kapoor asks her to wipe off lipstick as he doesn’t like it

Actor Alia Bhatt sparked outrage on social media after she revealed that her actor-husband Ranbir Kapoor often asked her to ‘wipe off’ her lipstick while they were dating as he liked her natural lip colour.

In a video posted by Vogue India on Instagram, Alia gives fans a glimpse of how she applies lipstick. She said, ‘The way I apply my lipstick is not considered [normal]. It’s a bit weird’.

Alia showed that instead of gliding the lipstick on her lips, she prefers to move her lips on the lipstick instead. She said that the method was peculiar indeed but that's what works best for her.

She then almost completely wipes the lipstick off her lips because she wants the faded look. She explains, ‘Because one thing my husband…when he wasn't my husband but when he was my boyfriend as well… he would be like ‘wipe that off, wipe that off’ because he loves the natural colour of my lips.’

Alia thought she was sharing a cute detail about her relationship with Ranbir, but many did not think so. Several people called Ranbir Kapoor a ‘red flag’, ‘a controlling husband’.

‘The more I listen about Ranbir Kapoor the more I feel scared for her. If your bf/husband is telling you to wipe your lipstick that the biggest sign for you to run! It is not cute or funny at all! Can not believe the most celebrated actress at this moment of India is going through this,’ wrote one person in a comment.

‘I can't believe a top actress of her time rubs off her expensive lipstick because her "bf/husband" tells her to rub it off,’ commented another.

Earlier, the couple faced backlash when during an interview Alia said that Ranbir ‘doesn’t like' her raising her voice during arguments.

‘I have to try very hard to control my anger because my husband does not like (it) when my voice goes above this decibel. Because he thinks it's not fair and it's important to be kind even when you are unhappy,’ she had told Vice.

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor married in April last year. They are parents to daughter Raha. The two also delivered their first film together ‘Brahmastra: Part One – Shiva’ in 2022.
