Alia Bhatt took on hosting duties at the Screen Awards 2026 in Mumbai, but her stint has drawn a less-than-glowing response from social media users.
Several videos of her hosting duties have surfaced online, with many describing her performance as 'cringe.'
Some viewers noted that her jokes didn't quite land, pointing to the audience's muted reactions as a giveaway.
Comments on social media ranged from 'she's not looking confident' to 'overacting' and 'boring script.'
However, some users tried to be supportive of Alia, saying she was 'trying hard' and that being a comedian is difficult.
Despite the mixed reactions, Alia will soon be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love and War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
