Actor Alia Bhatt, who is expecting her first child with husband Ranbir Kapoor, called out reports that claimed that the former has planned her pregnancy in such a way that her film commitments are not affected.

The reports also stated that Ranbir would be flying down to the UK “to pick up” Alia.

Expressing disappointment over misogynistic coverage of her pregnancy news, Alia took to Instagram Story and wrote, “Meanwhile we still live in some people’s 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 archaic way of thinking! Now if you would excuse me.. my shot is ready.”
