Sonu Sood defends Alia Bhatt amid Cannes 2026 trolling; says “People who are busy building dreams don’t have time to pull others down” Actor Sonu Sood has come out in support of Alia Bhatt after the actress faced heavy trolling on social media over her recent appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. While Alia attended the prestigious event as the global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris, sections of the internet criticised her red carpet looks and public appearances, leading to widespread online discussions. Amid the criticism, Sonu Sood took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a strongly worded message encouraging positivity and support instead of negativity. Without directly addressing the trolls, the actor highlighted the importance of celebrating Indian artists representing the country on international platforms. “When one of our own walks onto an international stage, it should be a moment of pride, not a reason to search for flaws. Not every achievement needs validation from cameras, headlines, or strangers to be meaningful. The courage to stand there, represent your craft, and carry your journey with grace is an achievement in itself. In a world addicted to trolling, choose encouragement. Because people who are busy building dreams don’t have time to pull others down. Keep shining, my friend. The right people saw your light”, he wrote on Twitter aka X. The post quickly gained traction online, with several fans appreciating Sonu Sood for speaking up against the cult... #Film_Festival #Sonu_Sood #Bhatt #Alia_Bhatt #Cannes_Film #Cannes #Bhatt_amid #defends_Alia #amid_Cannes #Sood_defends
