Rahul Bhatt, known more for his work in fitness, recently made headlines after his candid remarks about his famous siblings in an interview with Hindi Rush. In a no-holds-barred chat, the fitness enthusiast opened up about his admiration for sister Pooja Bhatt while drawing a sharp comparison with his half-sister, actor Alia Bhatt.
Rahul Bhatt says Alia Bhatt is ‘paani kam chai’ in comparison to Pooja Bhatt; calls sister Pooja the ‘true inheritor’ of Mahesh Bhatt’s legacy
Speaking with visible affection and pride, Rahul described Pooja Bhatt as “the true inheritor to take the legacy of my father ahead,” referring to filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. “I saw her in her stardom. She was the biggest sex symbol of the country at that time,” he said, reminiscing about her popularity in the 90s. While acknowledging Alia Bhatt’s fame and success, Rahul didn’t mince words and shared his thoughts with much candour as he stated, “In my opinion, she 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’ (not as good). This is my personal opinion,” he asserted.
The contrast he drew wasn’t just limited to fame. Rahul Bhatt emphasized Pooja’s depth and values, calling her “the most talented, the most moralistic” among all of Mahesh Bhatt’s children. “She has everything, and when you have everything, the universe conspires, and the rest is history,” he added poetically.
While his opinions on Alia might come across as controversial, Rahul maintained a tone of civility when talking about her personal life. “She is a good mother, and she is taking care of my other stepsister, Shaheen Bhatt, very well, which I respect more,” he noted. He also expressed appreciation for Alia’s husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, saying he respects the way they’re handling their personal lives.
Touching on his distant equation with Alia, Rahul added, “She is a mother now. She is very successful, and one can’t just pick up the phone and say ‘I am coming to meet you’. I never shared that with anybody. I like to maintain a certain protocol.”
Rahul Bhatt, who has largely stayed away from the industry spotlight unlike his siblings, has once again proven that he isn’t afraid to speak his truth – even when it involves Bollywood’s biggest names in his own family.
