The actress Alia Bhatt responded to a video that went viral showing a homeless woman mistreating her pet dog. For those who don’t know, a video showing a female dog walker beating and abusing a beagle on the Bandra walkway has been making the rounds on social media.
The dog’s leash is struck by the caregiver, who is seen in the video wearing a green saree. A number of celebrities, including Sophie Choudry and Soha Ali Khan, shared the video on their individual Instagram stories and called on the pet’s owner and authorities to take strong action against the woman.
Along with the video, Sophie wrote, “Update about the beautiful beagle Bira, who was cruelly beaten by this monster maid. I managed to get in touched with Parth and Shweta, who own the dog. Shweta told Malini Agarwal and me, she had never seen this video and was traumatised.”
She added, “Parth told me it was 6-month-old. No idea what the truth is, but they are flying back from Dubai tomorrow (Friday). I confronted the maid in person too, who is shockingly still employed with them. Bira is now with Jehan Canine Centre. Hopefully, they sack this maid tomorrow and take care of Bira.”
On Friday (April 19), Alia re-shared Sophie’s post on her Instagram story and said strict action should be taken against those who think they can take out their frustration onto a pet. She called the act ‘disgusting’ and thanked Sophie for bringing the viral video to the notice of people as well as the owners of the pet.
“Next time you see someone do this to a dog/cat any pet or animal, just take a video and take it straight to the authorities. There has to has to has to be stronger stricter punishment for people thinking they can just take out their frustration and crap onto a pet,” Alia wrote.
She added, “We have become so unbearably inhuman. It’s just so disheartening and disgusting! Kudos to you my friend @sophiechoudry for being a responsible citizen and to all those out there doing the same.”
The video was also shared by several users on X who demanded strict action against the woman.

Animal-loving Alia had also responded to the Thane pet dog attack case in February 2024, calling it “disheartening.” For those who were uninformed, two veterinary clinic employees were shown viciously beating a chow-chow pet dog in a video that went viral on social media.
At the Vetic Pet Clinic on Ghodbunder Road in Manpada, Thane, a CCTV camera captured the incident. As soon as the heartbreaking video went viral, internet users demanded that the culprits face severe consequences.
Now, Alia reposted the news on her Instagram story and wrote, “This is very disheartening.”
