Rahul Bhat schools trolls for calling him Alia Bhatt's brother: Don't tag me without verifying
Rahul Bhat blasts trolls for mistaking him as Alia Bhatt's half-brother Rahul Bhatt. He also supported the actress and called her brilliant.
Netizens mistook actor Rahul Bhat for Alia Bhatt's half-brother Rahut Bhatt and tagged him on posts talking about the ongoing debate of nepotism in Bollywood.
Tired of these posts, Rahul took to Twitter to clear that he isn't related to Alia Bhatt. The actor also supported Alia and said that she is a brilliant actress.
He wrote, "If u call @aliaa08 a product of #Nepotism then you are harming the entire debate. She is a brilliant, gifted actor, she is here because she is capable of carrying a film on her shoulders. Ps- I ain’t her brother so don’t tag me nonsense without verifying who it is u r referring to (sic)”

Alia's half-brother, Rahul Bhatt, is Mahesh Bhatt's son from his first wife Kiran Bhatt. Also known as Sunny, he is a fitness trainer and an actor.
Take a look at Rahul's picture with his father Mahesh, step-mother Soni Razdan and sister Pooja Bhatt.
Rahul Bhat started his career with the television show Heena. He made his Bollywood debut with Yeh Mohabbat Hai (2002). He starred in Anurag Kashyap's 2013 film Ugly, which gained him a lot of praises from both the audience and critics.
Apart from being an actor, he is also a television producer. He has backed shows like Meri Doli Tere Angana, Chu Kar Mere Manko and Tum Dena Saath Mera.
The nepotism debate sparked on social media after Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide. Netizens targeted Bollywood biggies for not giving fair chance to outsiders in the film industry.
