Later in the evening some pictures from Rishi Kapoor’s funeral surfaced on social media where family was mourning near the mortal remains of the late actor.
Rishi Kapoor Funeral PICS: Alia Bhatt, Neetu Kapoor CRIES Their Eyes Out As The Actress Face Times With Riddhima Kapoor!
One of the pictures was that of Alia Bhatt holding her phone during Rishi Kapoor's funeral and soon the actress became subject to online trolls!
Many users believed that the actress was recording the last rites and bashed her for the same, though she was actually face-timing with Riddhima Kapoor, so that the latter could see her father's funeral rites.
Due to the nationwide lockdown Rishi Kapoor's daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahani could not attend her father’s last rites as she was in Delhi and hence Alia Bhatt stepped in to help her to be with the family in some way.
But trollers were too quick to jump into any conclusion without knowing the actual reason of the actress holding phone, later a picture Rishi Kapoor’s sister, Rima Jain holding the phone for some time on a video call with Riddhima proved it otherwise.
The trolling of Alia Bhatt at such an unfortunate time highlights the insensitivity that has been shown by social media users towards the actress who stood by the Kapoor family like a strong pillar.
