The controversial leather bag
\nReddit user Fine_Farm_8583 did some internet sleuthing and found out that the black bag that Alia carried was an $2800 \u2018calf\u2019 leather bag. They also attached a Google search result for ‘calf skin’ which mentioned that it is sourced from cows as young as three years old. The titled their post, \u2018Poacher producer Alia Bhatt promoting Calf Leather Bag.\u2019 However, the website \u2018Net-a-Porter\u2019 mentions that it is calf leather while the original listing on Gucci simply mentions \u2018black leather.\u2019<\/p>\n

Reddit calls Alia a \u2018hypocrite\u2019
\nComments on Reddit were not kind. Alia was called a \u2018hypocrite\u2019 for posing with leather bags after regularly speaking about animal welfare. \u201cThe least she could have done is not carry a calf leather bag less than two weeks after promoting the movie. Before people come at me, yes, I\u2019m aware that Gucci provides her with a certain number of options to choose from, and they might not have provided her with any non-leather bags. However, she\u2019s Alia Bhatt, not an influencer that does not have the ability to refuse\/demand other options. I know that she gets a lot of unnecessary hate but like\u2026 she also does dumb things like this on the regular,\u201d read a comment. \u201cThis could have been avoided by NOT carrying that bag. At least not in public. Be a hypocrite like everyone else, but at least be smart enough to do it behind the camera,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
