Life has not been easy for Hollywood star Amber Heard for a few years now. But after losing the much-publicised legal battle against her ex-husband Jonny Depp, it has become even more difficult, it seems.
The Aquaman star has not only lost the slander lawsuit, but she has also lost some of her best friends in the industry, including Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, and Margot Robbie. Yes, you read that absolutely right! It seems not only so many producers and companies, her best friends have also lost faith in the actress.
According to reports, Heard apparently needed to move into a smaller house because she lost money and new projects and did not have new money coming in. So, she asked several of her A-list acquaintances for help, but they all ignored her.
A source informs a publication that Heard first reached out to Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne, and Kristen Stewart for assistance, but to no avail.
The insider claimed, “Amber has reached out to her old friends Kirsten Stewart, Cara Delevingne, and Margot Robbie, hoping they will help her find a place to live. She is getting snubbed and, in many cases, flat out ghosted.”
According to the insider, while a number of people sympathised with Heard when she lost the trial against Depp, the actress has also become radioactive.
Talking about Depp, despite the fact that he won his lawsuit, some of the people who liked his post-trial victory post on Instagram began un-liking them weeks later after a vault of unseen evidence that was blocked from being shown in court emerged in the media.

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.
