Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt said that she refused to be a part of her filmmaker-father Mahesh Bhatt’s romantic musical drama Aashiqui because of ‘love’.
The 43-year-old actress, who made her debut with the 1989 film Daddy, said her uncle Mukesh Bhatt offered her a role in the highly acclaimed film, but she declined because her then boyfriend did not want her to be an actress.
“I had a boyfriend and I was in love with him since I was 12-year-old. When I was 16, I started dating him. At 17 I didDaddy and at 18 I was offered Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin. So he very patiently went through the phase of my first film and said ‘If you want to marry me, drop movie offers as I’ll never marry an actor’,” Pooja said at an event here when asked why she refused her uncle’s offer.
Pooja shared insights about her life during a session on the second day of Jagran Film Festival in the Capital. The five-day gala was being held in Siri Fort Auditorium.
