Alia Bhatt is undeniably one of the most talented and promising actressess of this generation. She has charm as well as acting chops deliver amazing performances. Alia is usually quite active on social media and she hit 50 million followers on Instagram today and made a post about it on the platform.

Alia posted a stunning selfie flaunting her glowing skin and amazing hair. In the caption, she wrote a nice thoughtful note thanking 'her family...her people' for all the love. She mentioned she has learned that although social media is a place to connect with people and a source of entertainment, it isn't the source of happiness. She was just as happy when she has significantly less followers.

Pretty soon after hitting the 50 million mark, number of followers decreased and the count went back to 49.9 million.

Today is appreciation day.. thank you my family.. my people.. you have today given me 50M love.. I love you ALL to the stars and beyond ✨ ?? I'd like to take this moment to share something I’ve learned over the last couple of months.. social media connects us.. it excites us and yes it also entertains us.. but IT IS NOT US. Even when I was at 5, I5 or 50K love I was as happy and as grateful as I am today. I truly truly truly believe that our lives are made up of the relationships we cultivate with people and most importantly OURSELVES...no one has the right to make you feel any lesser or greater by the touch of a button. So as I said, today is appreciation day. I would like you all to take a moment and appreciate yourselves.. appreciate your mind,your body,your heart and your soul!! Because no like or dislike.. no follow or unfollow..no troll or poll can take who YOU are away from yourself?? ?? Okay bye ✨??
