In a heartwarming and humorous moment that felt like a dream come true for fans and creators alike, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt teamed up with her viral impersonator Chandni Bhabhda—fondly known online as Alia Vatt—for a fun and vibrant advertisement for L'Oréal Paris. The collaboration marks a full-circle moment for Chandni, whose impeccable mimicry of Alia had taken the internet by storm over the last couple of years. From the viral “Shivaaa!” scream in Brahmāstra to parodying Alia’s interviews and expressions with uncanny accuracy, Chandni carved out a niche and fanbase of her own—and now, she’s starred alongside the very person she built her digital identity around.
The video, shared on Chandni's Instagram, features the two in a playful "Get Ready With Me" segment, where they apply makeup and share cheeky banter. In a meta twist, Chandni mimics Alia’s signature quirks—particularly her unique lipstick technique—prompting Alia to chuckle and playfully label it “weird.” Fans especially loved a sly callback to Alia’s previously trolled moment where she had advised viewers to “wipe it off.” In this ad, Alia humorously corrected herself and said “dab it off” instead, showcasing her growth and ease with self-parody. The ad ends with both laughing heartily as Chandni continues mimicking Alia, delighting fans with the wholesome energy between the two.
The video quickly went viral, and fans and fellow creators filled the comments section with love and admiration. Influencer Dolly Singh commented, “Chandni you are blushing,” while others hailed the moment as “iconic” and “inspiring.” One enthusiastic fan wrote, “YES YES YES YES YES!!!! This is everything!!! I’m so proud of youuu. What a win.”
Chandni’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. A lawyer by profession, she wears many hats as a content creator, mimicry artist, and VJ, and has emerged as one of the most recognizable voices in the influencer space, especially for her Alia Bhatt impersonations. This collaboration is not only a nod to her talent but also an example of how creators and celebrities can harmoniously celebrate fan culture.
On the professional front, Alia Bhatt, who was last seen in Jigra alongside Vedang Raina, is looking ahead despite the film’s underwhelming box office performance. She will next appear in Shiv Rawail’s dystopian action thriller Alpha and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ambitious period romance Love and War, where she stars opposite Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. With such diverse projects on the horizon, Alia continues to cement her place as one of the most versatile and bankable actors in contemporary Hindi cinema.
This ad, meanwhile, has added a wholesome and joyous footnote to her career—one that celebrates talent, fan love, and the power of humor.
