While talking to Pinkvilla’s Hindi Rush, Rahul said that Pooja was more talented than the RRR star in terms of acting, looks, and overall appeal. “She (Alia) has got talent. She has the universe with her.
She understands PR. She has everything, and when you have everything, the universe conspires to make it happen," Rahul stated, adding, “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. If you ask, amongst all our siblings, who is the most talented, the most moralistic, it is Pooja.
