Ps- I ain’t her brother so don’t tag me nonsense without verifying who it is u r referring to
Soni Razdan retweeted Rahul Bhat's tweet in support of him. To clarify, Rahul Bhatt is Mahesh Bhatt's son with his first wife Kiran. He is Pooja Bhatt's brother and Alia Bhatt's half-brother. Actor and producer Rahul Bhat are not related to Alia's family.
Issue is not with the star kids but with the culture and atmosphere created in this film industry where outsiders cant survive. Being star kids is not crime but simultaneously it doesn't give you right to monopolize the industry.

It's not her fault that she's Mahesh Bhatt daughter so you can't hold it against her n crucify her, would she have been a big name without surname I think that's something you leave it to your fate n talent, most of our superstars today are outsiders. AB Sr, akshay, Ayushman

hahahah! I know you sir! But I humbly have reservation on your statement that she is not a product of nepotism, chances she got may be due to influence of her father but ya her inherent gift may keep her going!
