Rahul Bhatt, step-brother of Alia Bhatt, recently stirred controversy with his bold opinions.

Rahul, son of Mahesh Bhatt and Kiran Bhatt, compared Pooja favorably against Alia, Mahesh’s daughter with Soni Razdan.
Rahul Bhatt thinks Pooja Bhatt is a better actor than Alia
He claimed, “Alia has talent and PR skills,” he admitted. “But Pooja surpasses her in talent, looks, and allure. Alia is ‘paani kam chai’ next to her,” he said. Rahul credited her with upholding Mahesh’s cinematic legacy. “She was the biggest sex symbol of the country back then,” he said. Despite his critique, Rahul harbours no grudge against Alia. He respects her success and her care for their stepsister, Shaheen. “I admire her for that,” he added, noting their cordial but distant relationship. Pooja Bhatt is best known for his films like ‘Sadak’ and ‘Zakhm’, often working with her father.
