1. Amitabh Bachchan
Amitabh Bachchan has a sharp memory. He never forgets the birthdays or special occasions of his close ones and makes it a point to wish them each year. But along with his sharp memory he also possesses a unique talent, he is ambidextrous. Yes, the actor is ambidextrous which means that he can write equally well with both his hands.
2. Kareena Kapoor
While the 37-year-old is one of the most sought-after names in the industry, there was a phase where Kareena did NOT want to become an actress. Yes, that's right! She wanted to become a criminal lawyer. After completing her 12th she took an admission in Government Law College at Churchgate. But being a Kapoor she couldn't resist her acting talent. And after completing a year she moved on to Bollywood.
3. Hrithik Roshan
Hrithik Roshan has faced speech and diction issues since he was a boy. Very often he was ragged and picked on in school. He struggled and pursued speech lessons and bullies have stayed away, ever since. Hrithik still practices speech therapy every day for an hour so as to prevent relapsing into speech disorder again.
4. Salman Khan
Thinking of borrowing a handkerchief from Sallu Bhai? You just might be disappointed. This superstar steers clear of napkins and tissues too, apparently, he’s only loyal to a particular mulmul cloth. Random factoid but still rather weird.
5. Shilpa Shetty
That awkward moment when your husband shares the same birth date as your controversial ex. Yep, that’s exactly what Shilpa Shetty goes through every 9th of September! Raj Kundra and Akshay Kumar celebrate their birthdays on the same day. Now that’s a creepy coincidence in our opinion!
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire
Rahul Bhatt sparks controversy over 'insensitive' remarks about sisters Alia and Pooja Bhatt
Rahul Bhatt, fitness trainer and son of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, has found himself at the centre of a social media storm following controversial remarks about his half-sister, Alia Bhatt. In a recent interview, Rahul drew comparisons between Alia and their older sister Pooja Bhatt, calling the latter more talented, attractive, and principled.
The comments, which many have labelled inappropriate and insensitive, have sparked widespread criticism online. During the interview, Rahul stated, “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’ (watery tea). Amongst the siblings, the most talented and the most moralistic is Pooja.”
Social media users reacted strongly, questioning why Rahul would compare his sisters in such personal terms. Several users were particularly disturbed by his reference to their appearance and sex appeal, pointing out that such comparisons within a family cross boundaries of propriety. One comment read, “This is disturbing. Why talk about your sisters like that? It’s not just weird, it’s wrong.” Another post said, “There’s nothing respectful about comparing your siblings’ attractiveness in public.”
The backlash also reignited conversation around a decades-old controversy involving Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt. Rahul was asked about the infamous 1990s magazine cover where the father-daughter duo shared a kiss, which had stirred public outrage at the time. Dismissing the criticism, Rahul said, “It doesn’t make any difference. It’s like water off a duck’s back. We know the truth, and we’ve seen everything since childhood.”
Rahul’s casual dismissal of that controversy has added fuel to the fire, with critics saying it reflects a broader issue of the Bhatt family being insensitive to public perception and boundaries. Many users questioned the need for bringing up old incidents in a bid to defend new and equally questionable statements.
As of now, neither Alia Bhatt nor Pooja Bhatt has issued any public response to Rahul’s remarks. Both actors, known for their significant contributions to Indian cinema, have typically kept family matters private despite living in the public eye.
This episode has also sparked debate over the role of public figures in maintaining respect when discussing family matters in the media. Observers say such comments, especially when involving women’s appearance and personal qualities, reinforce problematic attitudes and fuel unnecessary controversies.
While Rahul Bhatt is not as prominent in the entertainment industry as his father or sisters, his comments have made headlines and placed the Bhatt family in the spotlight for reasons beyond their creative work. For many, this serves as a reminder that public platforms come with responsibility, and that family ties should not be trivialised or dissected for attention or comparison.
The backlash is unlikely to subside soon, especially as fans and followers of Alia and Pooja continue to express disappointment over the way the situation has unfolded. Whether or not Rahul chooses to clarify or apologise remains to be seen.
