Alia Bhatt made her first public appearance following a wave of controversy surrounding her half-brother, Rahul Bhatt. She was seen leaving a private terminal in Mumbai accompanied by her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, and their young daughter, Raha Kapoor. While Ranbir cradled Raha in his arms, Alia opted for a low-key approach, dressed in a cream oversized shirt paired with wide-leg denim, and shielded her face with sunglasses. She chose not to engage with the media or pose for photos, quickly heading towards their vehicle.
Ranbir, in a relaxed brown shirt, held Raha closely, while the little one sported a quaint white and pink outfit, appearing tranquil in her father’s embrace. This understated family exit followed Rahul Bhatt’s recent statements that ignited significant discussions online.
In a recent conversation with Hindi Rush, Rahul Bhatt drew comparisons between Alia and his sister, Pooja Bhatt, asserting that while Alia possesses a successful public relations acumen, she does not equate to Pooja in terms of talent or charisma. “She has got talent. She has the universe with her. She understands PR. She has everything and when you have everything, the universe conspires to make it happen,” he remarked. However, he continued with a contentious comparison, stating, “In my opinion, she is not even half of what my real sister Pooja is. Not in talent, not in looks, not in terms of being sexy. In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’. Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Rahul further expressed that it is Pooja who has truly advanced Mahesh Bhatt’s cinematic legacy, noting, “Pooja took my father’s legacy ahead. I saw her in her stardom. She was the biggest sex symbol of the country then.”
Despite his critical remarks, Rahul recognized Alia’s achievements and her role as a mother. “I am on good terms with her… She is very successful and one can’t just pick up the phone and say I am coming to meet you. She got the right husband. She is a good mother and she is taking care of my other stepsister Shaheen very well, which I respect more,” he shared.
Notably, Alia and Pooja previously collaborated in the film Sadak 2, directed by Mahesh Bhatt, further intertwining their familial and professional relations.
