Pooja Bhatt has reacted to the rumours regarding Alia Bhatt being her daughter. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Pooja called these rumours ‘idiotic’ and said how it has become almost like a fashion where people start talking about another person’s relationship with their family members.
What Pooja said
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, when Pooja was asked whether she was aware that there was a rumour that Alia Bhatt is her daughter, Pooja immediately said how she considers it ‘idiotic’ and then asked how did Alia react to this herself. When the host revealed that Alia laughed it off saying it was a ridiculous rumour, Pooja added, “I find it is revealing the person more aur hamare desh mein toh ye bahut purani cheez hein… (It is an old aspect of our country) ki start talking about somebody’s relationship with their daughter or with their bhabhi (sister-in-law) or with their sister or with their whatever. So now how do you counteract that? Us cheez ko dignity bhi de sakte hein respond kar ke (Is there any dignity in responding to it)? It’s absurd.”
