She added, “I remember my father taking me aside and telling me something that has remained with me for the rest of my life. He said, ‘Pooja if you are going to feel vulgar, it is going to look vulgar. So you need to approach a kissing scene or love making scene with a lot of innocence, grace and dignity, because the intention is communicated.'”

While social media is boiling with nepotism debate, the Mumbai Police had been investigating the matter. These claims have not been officially proven yet and social media seems to have believed the rumours or widespread speculations and created a narrative which antagonises Mahesh Bhatt.
Mahesh Bhatt added fuel to the fire when he recently tweeted the photo of a skeleton along with a famous quote from Tad Williams. Bhatt had tweeted a picture of a skeleton with a caption that read, “Dying men think of funny things – and that’s what we all are here, aren’t we? Dying men?”.

The users were of the opinion that the producer-director will have to face karma in his lifetime.
