Neha Bhasin is one of the most well-known singers in the Bollywood film industry. Nowadays, she has been in the news for the fights that she has in the Bigg Boss 15 house.
But, it’s her birthday today (18), so let’s look at the list of top five songs of the singer.
Hum Naye Geet Sunaye
All the 90s kid will surely remember that in 2002 an all girl pop band group was formed named Viva. It had five girls and one of them was Neha Bhasin. While Viva had collaborated for many songs, Hum Naye Geet Sunaye was a chartbuster and it is still loved by everyone.
Dhunki
Before Dhunki, Bhasin had sung many songs in Hindi films, but with this track from Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, she surely grabbed everyone’s attention. Her voice suited Katrina Kaif’s character in the film perfectly.
Jag Ghoomeya
We all remember Salman Khan dancing on the song Jag Ghoomeya in the film Sultan. But, the song also had a female version featuring Anushka Sharma and that was sung by Bhasin. It is clearly one of the best songs of the singer and she went on to win many awards including Filmfare Award for Best Playback Singer Female.
Dil Diyan Gallan
In the film Tiger Zinda Hai, Dil Diya Gallan was sung by Atif Aslam. But, there was an unplugged version of the track which was sung by Bhasin and she once again impressed one and all with her mesmerising voice.
Chashni
Bhasin has surely sung many songs for films that featured Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif. She sang the reprise version of the track Chashni in Bharat, and her voice was simply beautiful in it.
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.
