Controversies<\/strong><\/h2>Pooja Bhatt cover on a magazine saying I am not Virgin<\/strong><\/p>Each of Pooja’s covers, from the one for Cineblitz that said, I’m not a virgin! to the one for Stardust with the phrase, The New Morality, boasted of her newfound flaming status.

Pooja Bhatt only wearing body paint.<\/strong><\/p>Even though showing off body paint for Movie magazine in 1993 would have caused controversy. Pooja dares to show up in her birthday suit i.e Only paint on the body and no clothes.<\/p>
Speculation That Alia Bhatt Is Pooja Bhatt’s Daughter<\/strong><\/p>When Alia made her Bollywood debut with Student Of The Year, rumors that she was Mahesh and Pooja Bhatt’s child quickly took off. When Alia was asked what the worst rumor she has heard about herself was on Karan Johar’s chat program, Koffee With Karan, she made a joke about it. I’m the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt, the lovely actress had responded. <\/p>
When asked about the same rumor during the marketing for 2 States, Alia said The Times of India, I was asked a question regarding my father’s second marriage and I responded it’s not something that has affected me as a child or possibly I never gave importance to. The next thing I notice is that I am identified as the daughter of Pooja and Mahesh Bhatt. It is absurd! I think the author of this should get a brain scan because I feel bad for him.<\/p>
Pooja Bhatt and Karishma Kapoor were also entangled in a dispute.<\/strong><\/p>After Pooja made disparaging comments about Karisma Kapoor’s parents, Randhir and Babita Kapoor, a simple movie rivalry had devolved into an unpleasant dispute.\u00a0 The world had just learned that Randhir and Babita had begun to live separately at the moment.\u00a0 Pooja had made derogatory comments about the pair, which caused a heated altercation.<\/p>

Aryaa, who had planned a trip to Kailash with her boyfriend Vishal (Aditya Roy Kapur), escapes the hospital one day and ends up at Ravi’s house. Ravi initially refuses, but he eventually agrees.
