Alia Bhatt, who is on a break and gearing up for Ayan Mukerji's Dragon opposite Ranbir Kapoor, took the Internet by storm when an old photo of hers resurfaced on social media on Friday, May 5.
In the photo, shared by fashion photographer Dabboo Ratnani on social media, a topless Alia is seen holding a cat, thus covering her essentials. The bold look of the Badrinath Ki Dulhania actress in the black and white photograph has certainly taken her fans by surprise.

While her followers have been raving about her hot avatar, the picture has also drawn flak from many Instagram users who called the 24-year-old actress "shameless".
Meanwhile, the Udta Punjab actress, who is rumoured to be dating Sidharth Malhotra, is maintaining a distance from her alleged beau at public events as she reportedly doesn't want the media to speculate about her love life. Rumour has it that she wants to keep the relationship extremely private, and would rather have her work do all the talking.
The couple has of late been spotted together on multiple occasions. The two did not take extreme cautions to keep their alleged romance under wraps, and were caught on camera holding hands at the airport or watching a movie together.
Here are some of the negative comments that Alia's topless photograph garnered:
