Rahul’s Rise in Fitness and Recent Controversy
Rahul Bhatt, known for his expertise in fitness and bodybuilding, has recently attracted attention for his controversial remarks regarding his half-sister, Alia Bhatt.
Son of renowned filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and his first wife, Kiran, Rahul has made headlines after making disparaging comments about Alia. In a recent interview, he notably compared her to his sister, Pooja Bhatt, suggesting that Alia pales in comparison, stating that she possesses “nothing” in terms of beauty or talent.
As the brother of actress Pooja Bhatt and the half-brother of Alia and Shaheen Bhatt—Mahesh Bhatt’s daughters with actress Soni Razdan—Rahul has carved his own identity in the competitive fitness arena.
Rahul came into the public eye in 2008, following revelations about his connection to David Headley, an individual implicated in the Mumbai terror attacks. His profile further rose when he participated in the reality show Bigg Boss 4, where he showcased his personality to a wider audience.
During his interview with Hindi Rush, Rahul proclaimed his opinion on Alia, acknowledging her skills and public relations savvy, stating that she seems to have the universe on her side. However, he ultimately deemed her talent and looks significantly inferior to those of Pooja, asserting, “In front of my sister, she is ‘paani kam chai’ (not as good).” He emphasized Pooja’s superior moral qualities and talent among their siblings.
Despite his critical comments, it is worth noting that Rahul attended Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor’s wedding in April 2022, indicating a complex family dynamic.
