Twitter Triggers Alarm Bells, Memes Over Ranbir Kapoor Asking Alia Bhatt To “Wipe Off” Lipstick
Fans think she's glorifying his behaviour!

Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor are making headlines and it’s once again because Alia made a revelation about her husband’s opinion on her makeup looks which has enraged social media. The actress revealed that she wears nude lipsticks because her husband likes her natural lip colours. Alia also said that ever since Ranbir was her boyfriend, he would ask her to “wipe off” her lipstick whenever they went out because he likes her natural lips. NGL but that’s a total red flag and internet was quick to spot it.

Reacting to the video shared by a leading magazine X users (earlier Twitter) pointed out how Ranbir Kapoor asking Alia Bhatt to wipe off her lipstick is problematic and is a big sign that he’s misogynistic and controlling. And we’re here nodding our heads. TBH, it’s okay for a man to tell his partner that he likes something about her (in this case, her natural lip colour) but what’s not okay is someone asking their partner to not do something because they’re not okay with it (like Jonah Hill). This entire thing paints Ranbir Kapoor as a problematic or rather toxic partner and Twitter did not shy away from pointing it out and how!
alia bhatt said in the vogue video that ranbir kapoor hated her with lipstick so he’d ask her to wipe it off???? If your partner is telling you to wipe your lipstick that the biggest sign for you to run! It is not cute or funny at all!
I’m like scared for her, everytime she is on… pic.twitter.com/3VtXd8fnpw— Janhavi Jain (@janwhyy) August 15, 2023

Yes because manipulation and toxicity are dependent on your net worth and capability.
The way every statement, every media appearance has hinted at nothing but Ranbir being a toxic partner is mad . But god forbid a man is ever held accountable https://t.co/6qkkdg0cok— Sad Rasmalai (@imstress__) August 16, 2023

the ranbir alia discourse is interesting. if your partner doesn't like something about you, there are gentle ways to let them know without coming across as condescending or controlling. but ranbir ko kaun samjhaye bhai. chalta firta red flag ki dukaan

Many people joked about how everytime Alia Bhatt talks about Ranbir Kapoor thinking it’s going to make him come across as a cute husband, it always turns out to be problematic.

Alia Bhatt keeps on trying to romanticise her equation with Ranbir Kapoor but seems like it keeps on backfiring. Better to keep quiet and keep her relationship private if it is so perfect. Also seems like she forgets to talk about her influence on him hence it comes out as…

The more I listen about #RanbirKapoor the more I feel scared for Alia.That's why Deepika & Katrina couldn't tolerate him.#AliaBhatt is vocal about the issues she is having in her relationship with Ranbir.
She told that "He doesn’t like when my voice goes above this decibel… pic.twitter.com/lp8kJoHx8E— Rahul Chauhan (@RahulCh9290) August 16, 2023

Nobody owns women's rights, even after a marriage. People should treat each other with respect. Women shouldn't change their behavior just because of their husband. Everyone deserves freedom and fairness
Ranbir is pure red flag 🚩pic.twitter.com/FnYfoYgeil— Jaya✨️ (@Editby_J) August 16, 2023

Some people spoke up to defend Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt and pointed out that it’s their relationship and no one should be commenting on it. Many people also stated that if Alia Bhatt is okay with it, who are we to comment?
If your bae or your gal tells you sometimes – this is how they like you or don’t do this, or do it if you like it : how do you call it toxic? Isn’t it between the couple and not for the world to decide whether it is toxic or no? It’s very normal what Ranbir told Alia, preferring…

I don't know why are you scared for her. Alia's then BF and now husband likes her lips without lipstick, Isme problem kaha hai. Kal ka Ranbir agar kuch bhi bole tumhe problem ho jayegi. Matlab wo ab apne wife ko kuch nhi bol sakta because you Janhavi from Nala Supara thinks it's… https://t.co/nBwo2XrgXA

Respectfully, Ranbir Kapoor needs to keep quiet if he has nothing nice to say and Alia Bhatt should refrain from glorifying negative male behaviour, in the name of love, that attempts to alter her personality. pic.twitter.com/yPWy3DSoDv

then ranbir himself is a dumbo cause he gets dragged most of the times the minute he opens his mouth so he should also keep his mouth shut and y'all should be the last ones to give free ka gyaan to alia over this she doesn't give a flying FK about chindi people like you 🥱 https://t.co/1VCXPFG9P6

I do feel Ranbir Kapoor is not the right Husband for Alia. But asking her wife to remove that red lipstick is their personal equation ya all!! Why we are becoming so intolerant yaar. What if she doesnt like his flip flops and he stopped wearing it? What ifs…things we do in love!

Now switch the position if alia wanted ranbir to shave his beard and likely ranbir would have said 'i would acc dump his ass'
the reaction of society would have made ranbir culprit
This is the mentality of todays kids which was not in our parents gen and both abided each other https://t.co/Jq2KXxvxtn— Akshat Jain (@akshatjain_2507) August 16, 2023

IMHO, this behaviour sure is problematic. How is it okay for a man to tell an adult woman what she can and cannot wear?
