Actress Alia Bhatt called mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor her ‘beauty inspiration’ hours after being named the new global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris.
Neetu shared the beauty brand’s advertisement featuring her daughter-in-law on her Instagram story with the caption “You are a 100”. Resharing her mother-in-law's post, Alia wrote, “My beauty inspiration always and forever”.
On Tuesday, the French cosmetic brand shared pictures of Alia in an ensemble bearing the brand’s tagline “I’m worth it”. “Empowered, Inspired, Unstoppable. We are thrilled to welcome Alia Bhatt as the new global ambassador of L’Oréal Paris,” wrote the official handle of L’Oréal Paris on Instagram.
The renowned beauty brand shared an advertisement that shows Alia trenchantly challenging society’s perception of women.
Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also serves as one of the global ambassadors of L’Oréal Paris. Over the years, several Bollywood actresses, including Sonam Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, have endorsed the brand.
Alia had exchanged vows with Ranbir Kapoor after five years of dating on April 14, 2022, in a traditional Hindu ceremony in Mumbai. Later that year, on November 6, Alia gave birth to their daughter Raha. Ranbir and Alia also co-starred in Ayan Mukerji's sci-fi adventure Brahmastra: Part One - Shiva (2022).
The 31-year-old actress will soon be seen in Vasan Bala’s Jigra alongside Vedang Raina. Backed by director-producer Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions and Alia's home banner, Eternal Sunshine Productions, the thriller is slated to hit theatres on October 11. Additionally, Alia is set to headline YRF Spy Universe’s first female-led film Alpha alongside Munjya actress Sharvari Wagh.
Alia also became the first Indian global brand ambassador for Gucci in May 2023. Besides, the actress made her Hollywood debut in August last year with Tom Harper’s Netflix spy action thriller Heart of Stone.
Neetu last appeared in the comedy drama Jug Jugg Jeeyo (2022) after a hiatus of nine years. She is known for films like Priyatama (1977), Kaala Patthar (1979), Teesri Aankh (1982) and Ganga Meri Maa (1983). Neetu and Rishi Kapoor tied the knot in January 1980. They welcomed their first child, daughter Riddhima, on September 15 that year. Ranbir was born two years later on September 28, 1982. Following a recurring battle with leukemia, Rishi passed away on April 30, 2020.
