Hollywood star Nicole Kidman has taken the internet by storm yet again. This time, it is for her new haircut called the jellyfish. Yes, you read that right! Social media is currently obsessing over the new hairstyle that has suddenly become so popular that even Hollywood A-lister Nicole Kidman has given it a shot.
The Australian actress melted a million hearts with a whole new look for her latest media appearance this week, switching up her straight blonde hair for a less conventional style. Yes, she has officially embraced the ‘jellyfish cut’, a gender-neutral hair trend that has grown popular on TikTok and Instagram in recent months.
In a recent interview for the cover of Perfect Magazine, Kidman rocked a number of Gen Z-approved fashion moments, but it was her mane that caught everybody’s attention. The natural red head went back to her crimson roots, this time with hip-length tresses.
While a number of people are embracing the trend, not everyone is convinced about its originality. One user said she saw the hairstyle first on American actress Florence Henderson.
“I've cut my hair into this even though Mom didn't approve because she doesn't want to ruin my hair on my graduation day but I slayed on that day,” wrote another user.
“I love when TikTok recommends me videos of some stupidly named new trendy haircut because every time I click on it I'm shown videos of the ugliest looking hair I have ever seen in my entire life," wrote a third user.
In other news, screenwriter Billy Ray told a publication on August 31 that he has already written the sequel to Nicole Kidman’s viral AMC ad. “I got a text from the chairman of AMC about a month ago asking me if I would write the next one, and of course, the answer to that is yes,” Ray said. Kidman is set to return to feature in the ad. “Of course, it’s with Nicole. I am not doing it without Nicole, he added.

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.
