More on Alia Bhatt's 'invasion of privacy'?

Alia Bhatt was in her living room when she saw two people clicking her pictures. When the media portal shared her photos on social media, the actress immediately re-shared them on her story and called out the portal for "crossing all  the boundaries."

She wrote, "Are you kidding me? I was at my house having a perfectly normal afternoon sitting in my LIVING ROOM when I felt something watching me… I looked up and saw two men on the terrace of my neighbouring building with a camera right at me! In what world is this okay and allowed? This is a gross invasion of someone’s privacy! There’s a line you just cannot cross and it’s safe to say all lines were crossed today! @mumbaipolice."
