Rahul Bhatt On Mahesh Bhatt And Pooja Bhatt's Infamous Kissing Pic: "We Knew The Truth"
New Delhi:
More than three decades ago, Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt featured on a magazine cover where they were pictured sharing a kiss. The picture sparked widespread controversy and continues to drive conversations around the family dynamics of the Bhatts. Rahul Bhatt, brother of Pooja Bhatt, recently was asked to share his thoughts about the picture.
Being unfazed, Rahul recalled that he was only 14 years old when the picture was published. In a conversation with Hindi Rush, Rahul said, "Kuch farq nahi padta. It's like water off a duck's back. Hum jaante hain sach kya hai, aur humne bachpan se sab dekha hai, (We knew the truth. We had seen this since childhood)."
Rahul also added how growing up in film family helped him handle public scrutiny without letting it overpower them. "Film parivaar ke bachche ya toh bohot messed up hote hain, ya bohot mazboot. Log sochte hain humein chinta hoti hai, lekin aisa nahi hai," said Rahul.
Pooja Bhatt had also addressed the controversy in the past, most notably in a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan. She called the photo moment "absolutely innocent" and expressed disbelief at how easily people project their own biases. "Agar log baap-beti ke rishte ko hi galat nazar se dekh sakte hain, toh woh kuch bhi soch sakte hain. Aur fir hum family values ki baat karte hain? Bahut badi joke hai," pointing out the hypocrisy behind the moral outrage.
In the same interview, Rahul Bhatt said his sister is better than Alia Bhatt in terms of talent, sexiness and other attributes.
In 2010, Rahul was a contestant in the reality show Bigg Boss 4.

Muzammil Ibrahim Says He Had Nightmares Over Pooja Bhatt's Abuse On Set: 'I'd Pray To Allah To Save Me'
Last Updated: Actor Muzammil Ibrahim shares his traumatic experience working with Pooja Bhatt, revealing abuse and its impact on his mental health. Model-actor Muzammil Ibrahim made shocking confessions about his experience filming the 2007 movie Dhoka, claiming that working under director Pooja Bhatt left him emotionally scarred. In a new interview with Siddharth Kannan on his podcast, the actor opened up about the trauma he allegedly endured on set, revealing how it impacted his mental health. Opening up on the traumatic experience, Muzammil said, 'Pooja Bhatt had a temperament which was very difficult and disrespectful towards actors. Mahesh Bhatt used to like me a lot. But Pooja said a lot of things about me. I don't want to go into the details of it. I was very respectful towards her, but she had a very abusive nature. She was extremely abusive." The actor recalled how difficult the experience was for him. 'I went through hell during its shoot. I suffered a lot, and I was very young. I got into depression because of it. I used to have nightmares. Every morning, I would pray to Allah to save me from her." Muzammil also claimed that Mahesh Bhatt was aware of the tension on set but was unable to fully intervene. 'He would ask Pooja to not behave with me like that, but she would do it when he was not around. The crew members and even Mukesh Bhatt told me stories about Pooja's behaviour and temper." Due to the experience, Muzammil said he turned down future offers from the Bhatt camp. 'I was scared to work with the Bhatts again. Mahesh sir was very keen on casting me in Raaz 2. Even Soni Razdan pursued me for doing their films, but I refused all of them." He further shared that after the film's release, Pooja Bhatt allegedly spoke poorly about him in the press. He recalled, 'I was called names in the media and accused of being unprofessional, but I didn't respond. I feared being boycotted." Muzammil Ibrahim is best remembered for the hit remix track Pardesiya alongside Rakhi Sawant and films like Horn 'Ok' Pleassss and Will You Marry Me?. His last appearance was in the web series Special Ops. First Published:

(Also read: Thug Life movie review: The Kamal Haasan-Mani Ratnam flick fails to recreate Nayakan magic on screen) During the interview, Muzammil shared, 'I was called unprofessional during that time by Pooja Bhatt. She had a temperament, an attitude which was very disrespectful for actors. Bhatt saab used to like me a lot because I was a good actor. I was just a kid that time, around 20, and the way I was treated on that set I cannot even begin to say… it was so heinous. I was respectful, but I had expectations. But the way I was mistreated I had no expectations after that. She used to verbally abuse a lot.' Muzammil shared that he didn't do Raaz 2 after the experience on Dhokha. He added, 'I was so scared, I was nightmarish. I was a supermodel in India, respected in a very different way and the way I was treated there… Mahesh Bhatt saab saw what was happening and tried to tell her not to do that as well. But it escalated when Bhatt saab was not on set. I used to hear such stories on set where Pooja said that actors should be like dogs and should sit when told. I come from a small family and I was so scared, the articles that were written to sabotage me… I did not want to attach myself to that situation. I used to have nightmares and used to pray that I survive the whole day. I went through a lot of depression.' Pooja Bhatt's Dhokha opened to positive reviews, with Muzammil receieving particular praise. The film also starred Tulip Joshi, Anupam Kher and Gulshan Grover in pivotal roles.
