Mumbai, September 12 – Pooja Bhatt has decided to address the long-standing controversy surrounding a magazine cover from 1990 featuring her and her father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, engaged in a kiss. The provocative cover has continued to capture public attention even decades later, and Pooja Bhatt has finally chosen to share her perspective on the matter.
Pooja Bhatt, renowned as the sister of Alia Bhatt and a participant in Bigg Boss OTT 2, has consistently found herself in the spotlight due to the attention-grabbing photograph of her sharing a kiss with her father, Mahesh Bhatt. In a recent chat show appearance, Pooja Bhatt candidly discussed the controversial image and offered a surprising insight, remarking, “That was a moment, which was captured very beautifully on camera.”
Addressing the scrutiny and criticism that often accompanies such intimate family moments captured in the public eye, Pooja added, “When people view a father-daughter relationship through a negative lens, they are capable of interpreting it in any way they choose. To those individuals, I would like to convey that what they witnessed and read then, they will undoubtedly come across similar situations in the future.” Pooja’s words serve as a reminder that familial bonds, when misconstrued, can be subject to unnecessary controversy and sensationalism.
Additionally, Pooja Bhatt shed light on the complexity of relationships, emphasizing that every situation has both positive and negative aspects. She recalled an anecdote involving Shahrukh Khan, who once remarked to her, “When you have daughters, every time they leave, they simply ask for a kiss, saying, ‘Mom, Dad, give me a kiss.’ I still see myself as a little girl, and in my father’s eyes, I will always be his little girl. My father will forever remain the same person he has always been.”
