Pooja Bhatt Discusses Early Career Choices, Family Anecdotes, and Mahesh Bhatt's Osho DeparturePreviousNext

Pooja Bhatt shared insights into her early career and family experiences in recent interviews. She declined the lead role in the blockbuster Aashiqui due to her then-boyfriend's discomfort with her acting, which angered her father Mahesh Bhatt. Additionally, she recounted her grandmother's unique funeral for an amputated leg and revealed that her family once hid in a Pune safe house after Mahesh Bhatt left the Osho spiritual movement, facing threats as a result.
