When she finally tied the knot, actress and film-maker Pooja Bhatt did it with none of the fanfare that surrounded her staged wedding in father Mahesh Bhatt’s Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin.
Pooja wed hotelier and Channel [V]’s former veejay Munish Makhija at a temple in Goa on Saturday. Her mother was present but father Mahesh Bhatt begged off.
‘‘I have always supported her. But I didn’t attend the function because I feel uncomfortable with anything related to religion,’’ Bhatt said. He added that he was the first person Pooja consulted through an SMS when Makhija proposed.
Makhija, famous as Channel [V]’s Udham Singh armed with a lathi buffalo and his deadpan jokes, now runs a restaurant in Goa and dabbles in music.
The two are said to have begun their four-month courtship on the sets of Pooja’s directorial debut Paap, starring John Abraham and Udita Goswami, being shot in Sikkim.
