Alia Bhatt's hosting performance at the Chetak Screen Awards has come under fire after a viral video critique by an Instagram user named Janani. The video pointed out that while award shows have become less engaging, Alia's performance was particularly awkward, with one joke about her prolonged filming schedule for a Sanjay Leela Bhansali project failing to resonate with the audience. Janani's commentary extended beyond Alia, criticizing the Bollywood industry for placing actors in hosting roles without recognizing the distinct skill set required for live performances. Mini Mathur, an experienced television host, echoed this sentiment, commenting in support of Janani's critique. The backlash has led to a larger conversation about the need for professional hosts in the industry, as many viewers expressed their discomfort with Alia's performance.
