A third said, “aw dearest hypocrite nepo papa ki pari @aliaa08 the producer of “poacher” again proves she couldn’t care a damn less about animals as she promotes calf leather bag 🙈 GO MEDIOCRE ALIA! 😌” (sic). Meanwhile, a reddit user commented, “This could have been avoided by NOT carrying that bag. At least not in public. Be a hypocrite like everyone else, but at least be smart enough to do it behind the camera😭”.
A user by the name laylaa25 posted, “This needs to be amplified louder. I am sick of celebrities and their hypocrisy. On one hand she runs co-exist and produces Poacher. And will proudly flaunt these as clout to get awards. On the other hand, she is using calf leather. Not using but PROMOTING! I am done with these celebs and their “activism”.” (sic)
However, this is not the first time someone has called Bhatt out for carrying leather back. Last year, people spotted her wearing T-shirt promoting saving animals and meanwhile carrying a leather bag.

There are a lot of things that celebrities and public figures advertise for but it is not always necessary that they endorse the idea personally as well.
