Pooja Bhatt on her infamous kiss with father Mahesh Bhatt for magazine cover: ‘Shah Rukh told me…’

Stating that she doesn’t regret it, Pooja Bhatt explained that ‘unfortunately’ frozen moments can be represented and misrepresented by many. She shared that Shah Rukh Khan told her the same. She also explained how as 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.”

Talking about her father’s choosing to marry Soni Razdan, Pooja Bhatt said that as a film family, their private life would always be splashed in magazines. However, before 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.”
