New Delhi: Alia Bhatt's pregnancy announcement has taken the internet by a storm. The massive coverage of her pregnancy with rumors and half-baked reports have led Alia to respond to many such claims on Instagram. After Alia shared a thank you note with all on Instagram for the good wishes and love people and B-Town celebs sent in, she shared another post calling out the archaic thinking of many in this patriarchal world.


Taking to her official Instagram handle, Alia wrote, "Meanwhile we still live in some peoples heads we still live in some patriarchal world .. fyi. Nothing has gotten delayed!!!! No one needs to PICK anyone up. I am a woman not a parcel!!! I do not need to REST at all but good to know you'll have a doctors certification as well. This is 2022. Can we pls get out of this archake way of thinking! Now if you would excuse me … my shot is ready (sic).”


Earlier on Monday, Alia had shared a picture of herself in a hospital bed and captioned it, "Our baby ….. coming soon ♾❤️✨."


Celebrities like Anushka Sharma, Rakul Preet Singh, Tiger Shroff, Gal Gadot, Mira Kapoor and others from across the length and breadth of the industry congratulated the couple.


As Alia shared a picture of herself with Ranbir from a hospital undergoing an ultrasound scan, fans and fellow members from the film industry wished the couple the very best as they embark on a new parenting journey. Alia has responded to all the wishes on Instagram through a post.


In the Instagram story that Alia Bhatt shared, we see Ranbir and Alia, from what likes like their wedding function photo, all happy with folded hands as yellow flowers fall on them. Alia also wrote alongside the picture, "Overwhelmed with all the love! Have tried to read everyone's messages and good wishes and all I want to say is, it truly feels so special to celebrate such a big moment in our lives with all your love and blessings! Thank you to every single one of you."
