Pooja Bhatt opens up on her kiss with father Mahesh Bhatt for magazine cover: ‘An innocent moment…’

Filmmaker-actor Pooja Bhatt, who made her OTT debut with ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’, opened up about achieving stardom in her teens and then quitting acting for 20 years. She also talked about her infamous kiss with her father Mahesh Bhatt for a magazine cover shoot in a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan.

Speaking with Siddharth Kanan, Pooja stated that she doesn’t regret it and explained that ‘unfortunately’ frozen moments can be represented and misrepresented by many.

She revealed that superstar Shah Rukh Khan told her the same.

She also shared that for parents you tend to always remain a baby, and you can show your affection by kissing them.

‘It was an innocent moment captured which has been connoted in so many ways. Jisko jo karna hai, woh karenge (people will do what they want to). I am not going to sit here and defend it. If someone can question a father-daughter bond like this, they are capable of thinking the worst,’ she said.

Talking about her father’s decision to marry Soni Razdan, Pooja Bhatt said that her parents sat her down and told her everything about their equation. She said that divorces and broken families are very common today but her parents never lied to their kids, or even each other.

‘They fell in love very young and then things changed between them. He met Soni and decided to get married. And my father told me everything. People may question how a young child was kept in confidence but I prefer it that way. Today, I see no difference between my brother and sisters. We are of the same blood, we are family. Soni will always be family to me. Relationships can never be made or broken through paper,’ she said.

Pooja Bhatt made her acting comeback with Netflix’s ‘Bombay Begums’ in 2022. She later starred in ‘Chup’. She has a couple of web shows lined up, which she’ll talk about soon.
