The Good Place actress Jameela Jamil does not have any problem with people reacting negatively to her character's look for the much-awaited Disney+ series, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law.
After an image of her She-Hulk villain, Titania was shared on social media, Jamil took to Twitter to respond to posts that were critical of her appearance in the series.
“Omg this photo,” Jamil wrote Saturday. “Guys…I accept every ounce of shade here, but in defense of my excellent hair stylist, this is just my hair after a 14-hour stunt day in Atlanta heat,” Jamil wrote on Twitter in response to the photo.
“Just after being upside down. She did a *great* job on the show I promise. I love her. Boobs look ok though?” she continued.
In another tweet, Jamil wrote: “You’ll get it when the show comes out. It fits the character.”
In the high-profile series, Jamil plays Titania, the Marvel villain set to rival Jennifer Walters/She-Hulk, played by Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany.
In addition to her, She-Hulk also features Ginger Gonzaga, Josh Segarra, Jon Bass, and Renée Elise Goldsberry, Mark Ruffalo, Tim Roth and Benedict Wong.
Alongside Ruffalo’s return as the Hulk, Tim Roth reprises his role as Emil Blonsky aka Abomination from 2008’s The Incredible Hulk. Benedict Wong also returns as Wong from Doctor Strange.
The first promo garnered over 78 million views in its first 24 hours when it launched in May, making it the second-biggest trailer debut for a Marvel Studios series.
Helmed by Kat Coiro and Anu Valia, from a script written by Jessica Gao, the nine-episode series is set to be released on Disney+ on August 17.

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.
