At the recent trailer launch of Amazon Prime Video's upcoming original web-series, "Poacher," Alia Bhatt, who serves as the executive producer on the show, found herself in an awkward yet endearing moment when she was referred to as a "global icon." The actor's humility and discomfort in accepting such accolades have garnered praise from fans.
During the event, the host introduced Alia, highlighting her achievements in her decade-long career, labeling her as an "actor par excellence, producer, global icon, and executive producer." In a video that has since gone viral on social media platforms, Alia is seen blushing and feeling embarrassed in response to the host's compliments. She humorously requests, "Please, don't. No no, don't… You can tell me in my ear later." Alia even adds, "No no no, please. I'm gonna walk off stage."
Fans of Alia have flooded social media with appreciation for her down-to-earth demeanor. Comments on Instagram posts commended the actor for being humble and relatable, with one fan stating, "The humblesttt❤️❤️," and another expressing, "My favorite ❤️❤️."
Alia, as the executive producer of "Poacher," had earlier shared her pride in being part of the project. She recounted how she was "heavily pregnant" when she first met Richie Mehta, the director of the show known for Netflix's "Delhi Crime," to discuss the series before deciding to back it. The series addresses the serious issue of animal poaching and illegal wildlife trade.
In a promotional video for the show, Alia stated, "Being a part of this project is such a source of pride for me and our entire team at Eternal. 'Poacher' is a clarion call to address the grave and heartbreaking issue of animal poaching and illegal wildlife trade." She expressed hope that Richie's powerful storytelling would inspire everyone to advocate for wildlife preservation and encourage co-existence with all living beings.
"Poacher," starring Nimisha Sajayan, Roshan Mathew, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Kani Kusruti, Ranjitha Menon, and Maala Parvathi, is set to stream on Amazon Prime Video from February 23, 2024. As the excitement builds for the release, Alia Bhatt's genuine reaction at the trailer launch has only added to the anticipation surrounding the show.
