Director Mahesh Bhatt is marking his 75th birthday today. On this special day, his wife Soni Razdan extended her wishes on social media and offered fans a glimpse of his ‘then and now’ photos. Meanwhile, their daughter Pooja Bhatt penned an emotional note for her father and shared unseen photos of him on social media.
“To the man who gave me roots, wings, the courage to stand on my own feet, walk alone & unabashedly be myself.. “A real guru, if there is one, frees you from himself.” That was the understanding that UG Krishnamurti instilled in him and what he reinstates to me & countless others day after day.. Happy 75’TH Pops! Gratitude to you & my mother for bringing me into this world. And for re-birthing me through the gift of sobriety by simply saying to me “If you love me, then love yourself.” 🙏♥️,” she wrote.
Soni Razdan shared a picture of a young Mahesh Bhatt holding a clapboard. In another photo, which appears to be from their recent vacation, the filmmaker can be seen wearing a T-shirt and a hat, smiling warmly at the camera. “Happy 3/4 of a century you… Then and now ,” Soni wrote in her post.
Not long back, Pooja opened up about her viral kissing picture with Mahesh Bhatt and whether she regretted doing it. “No, because I see it very simple, and I think that unfortunately jo hota hai, a frozen moment can be represented and misrepresented in anyway. Aur mujhe yaad hai Shah Rukh ne mujhe yeh kaha tha when you have daughters, jab hi aapke bacche chote hai, how often child just say, ‘Mummy papa give me a kiss’. And they go this way. Mai ab bhi is umer mein bhi wahi 10 pound ki bacchi hoon for my father. Vo jindagi bher wahi rahege for me,” Pooja told Siddharth Kannan.
