Rahul Bhatt is Alia Bhatt's step-brother. He was born to Mahesh Bhatt and Kiran Bhatt. Rahul Bhatt's real sister is Pooja Bhatt. Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt were born out of Mahesh Bhatt's second marriage to Soni Razdan.

Alia Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt's name has been constantly under the radar ever since Sushant Singh Rajput committed suicide. While Alia Bhatt is called a product of nepotism, fingers have been pointed at Mahesh Bhatt's involvment in Sushant's demise.
