Lilly Singh's Prem For Rocky Aur Rani (Note: "Not An Ad"). Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh React

"I'm not being paid to post this or talk about the movie," wrote Lilly Singh

YouTuber Lilly Singh's post for Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani is definitely worth a read. Lilly Singh summed up her relationship with Bollywood films, what she thought of the film and more. She also clarified in her post that it is not an advertisement and that she is "not being paid to post this or talk about the movie." Also, Lilly's post got a whole lot of love from both Rocky and Rani as well as the creator of their prem kahaani - Karan Johar. Alia Bhatt commented on the post, "Lilly, thank you so much! You and your love really hit the spot pink. You go Rani." Ranveer Singh commented, "Thank you Lilly! With all our heart. This is so lovely." Karan Johar added, "This means so so so me and all of us! Thank you for your generosity...Truly humbled."

Lilly Singh began the post with these words, "Last night, after about 15 years, I watched a Bollywood movie in the theatre: Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. It's no secret I love Bollywood. In fact for a period of my childhood, I exclusively watched Hindi and Punjabi cinema (so much so that I often don't know a staple North American movie my friends are referencing). But as an adult, my relationship with Bollywood has been bittersweet. Because I love the drama, music, dancing, theatrics and feeling of nostalgia."

Lilly stated in her post that one of her favourite factors about the film is that it reverses gender roles, questions patriarchal norms, among other things. "But I'm also a fierce advocate for women and it's not lost on me how extremely sexist and patriarchal a lot of it can be (especially some of my classic favs). I've accepted that two things can be true at once: 1) Bollywood can be really meaningful to me and 2) I can also be frustrated with it sometimes. However, yesterday while watching Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, I couldn't help feel some major resolve. It beautifully addresses so many important issues including sexism, body positivity, gender norms and homophobia in a way I've never seen before, while being entertaining as hell," an excerpt from Lilly's post read.
