Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio is again a single man. He has reportedly ended his relationship with actor-model Camila Morrone. The couple, who was first linked with each other in 2018 during an outing to Aspen, Colorado, and made their first debut as a couple at the 2022 Oscars, has decided to go separate ways after dating each other for over four years.
Ever since reports of their split hit the internet, netizens have started curating ‘25 is the age limit’ memes. For those not in the know, DiCaprio and Morrone had a 22-year age gap. When netizens took a look at DiCaprio’s past relationships, it turned out that all of his relationships have been with women who were younger than 25. The Hollywood star has never publicly dated a woman over that age.
Mary Madigan, who is a columnist from Australia, slammed the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood actor for his liking of dating women under 25. DiCaprio is 47 years old, and apparently, the women he dates must be almost half his age to be eligible. His film Romeo + Juliet hit cinemas 26 years ago. To put it in perspective, the woman should be younger than his film to be eligible to date him.
Many users are trolling the actor for dating young actresses and breaking up with them once they turn 25.
As per a report, sources confirmed DiCaprio and Morrone’s break up, but the reason for the split was not reported. A close source also revealed that the two ended their relationship after June. “Leo and Camila ended their relationship over the summer… There are no bad feelings between them. It just came to a natural conclusion."
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.
