Alia Bhatt’s Playful Response Steals the Show at ‘Poacher’ Trailer Launch | – Times of India

Bollywood diva Alia Bhatt, who is bankrolling the upcoming investigative thriller web series ‘Poacher,’ added a delightful touch of spontaneity to the trailer launch event in Mumbai. A viral video from the occasion captured a candid moment where Alia humorously expressed discomfort at the host’s effusive introduction, playfully threatening to “walk off stage” when labeled a “global icon.”

As the host commenced Alia’s introduction, she interrupted with a light-hearted request, stating, “Please, don’t. No no, don’t… You can tell me in my ear later.” The lighthearted banter escalated when the host bestowed upon her the title of a “global icon,” prompting Alia to wince and insist, “No no no, please. I’m gonna walk off stage.”

The viral clip quickly made its rounds on social media, with users appreciating Alia’s authenticity. Some speculated on her motive, with one comment noting that she was not being modest. Others expressed a preference for such unscripted moments, stating, “I’d take celebrities being fake modest over watching them with their superiority complex any day.”
The web series ‘Poacher,’ directed by Emmy Award-winning Richie Mehta, features Malayalam actor Roshan Mathew and Dibyendu Bhattacharya in lead roles. The much-anticipated eight-episode series is slated to stream on OTT platforms starting February 23.
