Bollywood actress-producer Pooja Bhatt. Her other identity is the daughter of producer Mahesh Bhatt. When Pooja’s career was in mid-nineties in the nineties, the actress was embroiled in huge controversies. The controversy arose after Pooja’s kiss with Mahesh Bhatt was published on the cover of Filmfare magazine. They were ridiculed for this.
At that time, Pooja tried to attract attention by holding a press conference but failed. Rather the opposite is true. Because Mahesh Bhatt said, ‘If Pooja was not my daughter, then I would have married her.’
The director’s comments added fuel to the fire. Mahesh-Pooja was under fire. But then Mahesh Bhatt played a completely silent role. Alia Bhatt’s father came up in a new discussion about the old issue. Mahesh Bhatt gave an interview to Zoom TV a few days ago. He explained the reason for staying silent in this conversation.
Pooja-Mahesh in the controversial film
Mahesh Bhatt says, ‘Lord Krishna has a line, ‘Inaction is action’. When I decided not to talk about it, that was my ‘action’. So trollers or my opponents know that I come from strength, not cowardice. I have never been a fearful person.’
Media spread hatred towards Pooja, yet Mahesh Bhatt remained silent. Why did not ‘protect’ the children? In this context, Mahesh Bhatt said, ‘I have nothing to protect them. What is there to protect? As I have taken care of myself, my children will take care of themselves.’
Pooja Bhatt interviewed Siddharth Kannan late last year. At this time, Pooja was asked whether she regretted the controversial kiss picture? In response, Pooja said – ‘No. Because I see it very naturally. Unfortunately, this is misrepresented. Often you will see your child saying, Mommy, Daddy, give me a kiss. Even at this age I am a 10 pound baby to my father. My father will be like this to me.’
People put different meanings on the picture of the kiss. Referring to that, Pooja said, ‘It was such a moment, which is absolutely innocent. Whatever the subject, people will read it in their own way, give it their own meaning. I can’t stop it. If you look at the parent-daughter relationship from a different perspective, you can do whatever you want. Still we talk about family values.’
