Deepika’s fans praised Alia for being “supportive” and “understanding” towards their beloved star. One fan wrote, “After all the hate Alia has been getting, I can see her sympathizing with DP (everyone sympathized but Alia also went through speculation so can relate).” Another said: “Yes, it’s time to support! It’s too personal to stoop to that level and participate. The last thing she needs is strangers’ opinion of her right now. I hope the baby and mom and dad are well and live every day.”
