Pooja Bhatt says reports claiming Alia Bhatt is her daughter are ‘absurd’

Filmmaker-actor Pooja Bhatt reacted to a rumour claiming that Alia Bhatt is her daughter in a recent interview with Siddharth Kanan.

Calling the reports ‘absurd’, she said that this is not new in our country.

‘Start talking about somebody’s relationship with their daughter or with their bhabhi or with their sister or with their whatever. Now, how do you counteract that? Ke aap iss cheez ko dignity bhi de sakte hai respond kar ke? It is absurd,’ she said.

Pooja also spoke about her equation with Alia and revealed that the 'Brahmastra' actor followed her 'BB OTT 2' journey closely.

‘Alia called me the day I came out of 'Bigg Boss' and told me 'Pooja, I have felt the closest to you during 'Bigg Boss' because there has been not a single day when I did not watch it.' She used to watch the show 24/7,’ Pooja shared.

Pooja Bhatt was one of the 5 finalists on 'BB OTT 2', which was hosted by actor Salman Khan.

Alia is Pooja's half-sister. Both are the daughters of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.

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.
