Bollywood actress Sunny Leone and her husband Daniel Weber completed seven years of their married life on Wednesday and she celebrated this occasion by sharing with her social media followers pictures from her wedding day.
The Canadian-born actress also penned a sweet message for her husband Daniel Weber.
"7yrs ago we vowed in front of God to always love each other no matter what life throws at us! Can say that I love you more today than I did that day! We are on this crazy journey of life together! Love you so much @DanielWeber99 Happy Anniversary!" she wrote.
Leone and Weber are parents to three children - daughter Nisha, whom they adopted last year, and twin boys, Noah and Asher, who were born via surrogacy.
The duo recently opened up to The Times of India about being new parents and said their lives revolve around their children.
“I don’t think our profession is any different from other people’s professions where they live in nuclear families and look after babies while working. Like every other parent, we schedule our lives around our child to be able to spend time with her. The good part is that she has also accepted us as Mama and Papa,” Leone told the media outlet. Weber added: “The first time she called me Papa and kissed me on my cheeks, moved me to tears and the memory of that moment can make me cry even now. Nisha's truly special.”
The couple also said that their personal lives and preferences have become secondary since Nisha's arrival. They also ensure that Nisha often accompanies them during their travels. “Over the last eight months, we have taken Nisha everywhere. We took her to our place in America. She’s travelled to Africa, China, Dubai, Nepal, Los Angeles, Arizona. She’s a well-travelled baby,” Leone said.
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.
