Alia Bhatt`s latest commercial has become the talk of the town. The actress found herself on the receiving end of flak after she shared a new ad that she features in. Directed by Abhishek Varman, the actress plays a bride in a commercial for a bridal wear brand.
We see her character sitting in the mandap with the groom. "Am I a thing to be donated? Why only kanyadaan," she asks as she breaks the fourth wall to question why her family has always treated her as a temporary part of the family, despite loving her so much. Much to her surprise, the mother-in-law and father-in-law ‘give away’ their son as well.
