Yesterday, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt along with Brahmastra director Ayan Mukerji had a live session on Youtube as an after-party celebration. In the session, Ranbir talked about why they are not promoting movies in the way they do for other movies. Alia chimes in and says, “Hum log karenge, we will be everywhere, the question is why we are not phailoed and marketing the film everywhere” but Ranbir interrupts and says, “Well, I can see somebody has phailoed,” as a joke. Alia Bhatt also looked shocked at the comment.
Fans are upset over his statement and have slammed Ranbir by calling him insensitive. Following the backlash, the video has now been deleted from Sony Music India’s official YouTube channel.

One of the Reddit users commented, ” Tht was mean to say tht in public or private to his pregnant wife.” While another said, “That was supremely cringy and disgusting”.
One more comment said, “Eh, it isn’t even a good joke. Most women already have a hard time accepting the changes pregnancy brings to their bodies, joking about it is just insensitive.”
Another user added, “Ayan cringed hard on that joke.”
