Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor were snapped at the Mumbai airport leaving the city to the Maldives for vacation. The couple went away amidst the coronavirus lockdown in Maharashtra that was announced last week due to a sudden rise in COVID-19 cases.

After the photos of Kapoor and Bhatt surfaced on the internet, citizens trolled and called them out for running away from the chaos instead of not using their influence to help people during such trying times.

“Coronavirus cases are increasing in India and then people like Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor will blame a common man for increasing positive cases. They are going to the Maldives and then will advise others to stay home,” wrote a user on Twitter.

“What fine examples these stars are setting!!” commented another Twitter user.  Another one wrote, “We are in pandemic and people are dying but these people have no shame.”

Bhatt and Kapoor, both were tested positive for the novel coronavirus. On April 14, Bhatt revealed she had tested negative for the virus. The actress took to Instagram to share the news with her fans. Bhatt shared a picture on Instagram and wrote: “The only time being negative is a good thing.”

Bhatt tested positive for the coronavirus on April 2 and kept sharing health updates on Instagram. The actress was busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi when she got tested positive.

On the work front, the couple will be seen together in Brahmastra, directed by Ayan Mukerji. The film also stars Amitabh Bachchan, Nagarjuna, Mouni Roy, and other roles.
