Big Boss OTT Season 2 is underway. As expected, it has already made huge controversies and gained popularity from the audience. The show features popular celebrities from diverse fields. The format of the show is such that the celebrities are locked together inside one house and are pretty much strangers to each other in the very beginning.
This year’s show involves a very popular celebrity, Pooja Bhatt. Pooja Bhatt was originally a part of the panel that ranked the contestants based on their popularity ranking and other criteria before they entered the house. It came as a surprise to the fans when the show’s host, Salman Khan, announced that she would also be a part of the house.
Who Is Pooja Bhatt?
Pooja Bhatt is the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt, a popular director, and producer in the Indian cinema industry. Mahesh is also known for his screenwriting and overall contribution to the film industry.
Pooja Bhatt made her acting debut in the film “Daddy” in the year 1989. She has since gained popularity and made herself a huge name in the industry.

Pooja Bhatt And Mahesh Bhatt Controversy:
Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt, the father and daughter duo, have a history of getting into trouble with controversies. Mahesh Bhatt has been in the headlines several times for the wrong reasons. Pooja’s recent appearance in Big Boss OTT has suddenly brought up controversy regarding Mahesh and Pooja.
It so happened that Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt were seen sharing a liplock on the cover of a popular magazine, Stardust. Pooja was sitting in the lap of Mahesh Bhatt, and the two were kissing each other on the lips. It was an incident that occurred in the 1990s.
Pooja Bhatt was pretty young then and known for her beauty and bold nature. She would wear bold dresses and make an impression on viewers. However, the picture was way ahead of its time, and the audience questioned if it was the right way to display a bold culture. People could not see a daughter and her father kissing on the lips as if they were a couple. It sparked several controversies and put a bad name on the duo.
After the release of the cover, Mahesh Bhatt, in an attempt to praise the beauty of his daughter, made a statement where he said that he would have married Pooja had she not been his daughter. Mahesh’s statement after an already controversial cover photo acted like fuel to the fire. It further agitated the fans, and he received a lot of flak from the media and fans.
Mahesh Bhatt And Other Controversies:
Mahesh Bhatt has since made several controversial statements. He has also been controversial for his alleged affairs with the several women he has been associated with in his life. His production of bold films has also received criticism several times. Though, his controversy with Pooja remains one of the biggest ones in his career. Though it has been a long time since the controversy happened and it had subsided, Pooja’s appearance in the Big Bogg reality show has only reignited the spark that went out. It remains to be seen how Mahesh Bhatt responds to the controversy.
