The Internet Is Furious After Spotting Poacher Producer Alia Bhatt With A Leather Bag: "Hypocrisy 101"

Alia Bhatt was last seen in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani alongside Ranveer Singh

Alia Bhatt is currently making waves in the entertainment circuit for backing Prime Video's highly-acclaimed web series Poacher. The show is inspired by the real-life incident of ivory poaching in the Malayattoor region of Kerala. Alia Bhatt, who served as the executive producer of the show, is also the global ambassador of luxury brand Gucci. Now, she has found herself embroiled in a controversy after attending a Gucci event while carrying a handbag made from animal skin. Upon the release of the pictures online, the Internet has accused the actress of double standards. Critics of the star pointed out the apparent contradiction between her involvement in producing a series addressing animal poaching and her choice to carry a bag made from animal hide. In the shared images, Alia can be seen wearing a black pantsuit and holding a handheld bag. A page dedicated to Bollywood news and gossip has shared her pictures on Reddit with the caption, "Poacher producer Alia Bhatt promoting Calf Leather Bag." 

While the caption called it a "calf leather bag", the official shopping site of Gucci simply calls it a "leather bag."
