Hold on to your chai cups, Bollywood buffs, because it’s your favourite gossip monger, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, back with a juicy scoop straight from the land of glitz and glamour. And this time, we are dipping our toes into some Hollywood drama. Oh yes, the desi tinsel town isn’t the only one serving up piping hot scandals!
It seems that the heartthrob of Hollywood, and dare I say, the world, Brad Pitt, is nursing a broken heart. No, it isn’t about his messy split with Angelina Jolie, though that’s a saga in itself. This time, the wound comes closer to home. His daughter, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, all of 18 years, has decided to give her daddy’s surname the boot. Ouch! Now that’s a blow even a Fight Club member wouldn’t see coming.
Apparently, this isn’t the first time that a mini-Pitt has decided to distance themselves from daddy dearest’s surname. So, the pattern isn’t exactly new, but it certainly is troubling, especially for dear ol’ Brad. Sources close to him say he’s pretty shaken up by his daughter’s decision. After all, he once said that nothing brought him more joy than when Shiloh was born. Talk about a punch in the gut!
And it isn’t just the surname drama that’s shaking up the Jolie-Pitt household. There’s also a nasty legal tiff brewing between Brad and Angelina over their sprawling 1,300-acre vineyard in France. Ah, the rich and their problems! I mean, who fights over a vineyard, right?
The legal wrangle has been anything but pleasant, with allegations of physical assault by Brad against Angelina in front of their children. This has undoubtedly strained family ties and influenced the children’s decisions to distance themselves from their father.
Shiloh’s decision to become just Shiloh Jolie came soon after her younger sister, Vivienne, also decided to drop the Pitt from her name. Poor Brad, he must be feeling like the last kid picked for the school cricket team.
Seems like the trend of ditching the Pitt surname is catching on among the siblings. Zahara, another Jolie-Pitt offspring, was the first to adopt Jolie as her sole surname. This was highlighted when she was introduced to her university’s sorority as Zahara Marley Jolie last year.
And that’s the end of the latest episode in the Jolie-Pitt saga. I’ll leave you with a funny, lopsided moral of the story – sometimes, it’s not just your ex-spouse you need to worry about during a messy divorce, but also a bunch of rebellious teenagers who might just decide to drop your surname. Keep that in mind, Bollywood stars!
