Alia Bhatt finally addressed the lipstick video controversy that put her husband Ranbir Kapoor in the negative spotlight. The actress said in a clip that he makes her wipe off her lipstick as he prefers her natural lip colour. On Koffee With Karan 8, she reacted to him being tagged as 'toxic' and a 'red flag'. Slamming a section of people who took her statement out of context, Alia came out in Ranbir's support.

She said on Koffee With Karan 8, "I have a candid way of speaking. When I am talking about anything in life, I imitate the person I'm talking about, I like to give anecdotes. I like to make it personal. I feel a lot of the things get picked out of context which happened recently with a video. I was looking and my team told me, "This is spiralling out of hand. And I was like Okay, fine. Let it go. People will say things all the time." But then I realised there are serious articles talking about how he is a toxic man. Are we serious? There are many issues in the world to talk about and give more attention towards than talking about something that I said in a completely different context. The only reason I felt bad or I feel bad is if people misunderstand because he's genuinely the opposite."
