Rahul Bhatt trolled over controversial comments on sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt looks, fans say, "This is a super weird thing to say"

Alia Bhatt’s half-brother, Rahul Bhatt, is facing heavy trolling on social media after comparing his sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt. In a viral clip from his interview with Hindi Rush, Rahul said that Alia is "not even half as sexy" as Pooja. Since both are his sisters, many netizens found the comment inappropriate and criticized him online.

He said, “In my opinion, she (Alia) 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 (not as good)’. Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja."

In the same interview, Rahul Bhatt said that it was Pooja Bhatt who truly carried forward their father Mahesh Bhatt’s legacy. He recalled her stardom days and described her as “the biggest sex symbol of the country” at that time. His comments have stirred mixed reactions online, especially considering the way he compared her to Alia Bhatt.

Why would you compare the sexual appeal of your own sisters? That’s not okay!”

A user wrote, “What is he even saying? Disgusting." Another person penned, “This is a super weird thing to say."
