Another wrote, "Posting this on the day of Alia's big Met Gala debut was suspicious for real. Today is the Met Gala and looks like she isn’t attending. The incident highlights the power of social media and how celebrities are under constant scrutiny from social media users. In this case, Padukone's attempt to share a cherished moment from the past was met with criticism, with some interpreting it as an attempt to overshadow Bhatt's Met Gala debut.
