Many A-list Bollywood figures have extended solidarity with war torn Palestine lately. Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, and Varun Dhawan took to their Instagram stories to show their support. However, this soon led to the "boycott Bollywood" trend on X, which drew Pooja Bhatt's attention. She has sharply criticized the trend, which consistently targets the industry for voicing collective concerns.

Addressing the issue on her official X handle, Pooja shared a screenshot of the "boycott Bollywood" hashtag, saying, "And it begins YET again! The entertainment Industry pays the price for speaking up collectively against the atrocities in Palestine." She also included the hashtag, "All eyes on Rafah."
