Pooja Bhatt shared a memory of being scolded by veteran actor Mithun Chakraborty during a shoot directed by her father, Mahesh Bhatt. The incident occurred when she requested another take, prompting a sharp rebuke from Chakraborty. This anecdote highlights behind-the-scenes dynamics in Bollywood productions.
Pooja Bhatt, born on February 24, 1972, in Mumbai, has been active in the film industry since 1989 as an actor, producer, director, and more. Daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and Kiran Bhatt, she has appeared in numerous projects, including her debut in Daddy (1989) and later films like Sadak (1991) and Zakhm (1998), for which she received awards such as the Bengal Film Journalists' Award for Best Actress (Hindi) in 2000.
In a recent reflection dated November 27, 2025, Bhatt recounted an experience on one of her father's sets where Mithun Chakraborty yelled at her. She had asked for another take, leading Chakraborty to shout, "Aamir Khan ka bhoot andar se nikalo," translating to "Get the ghost of Aamir Khan out of you." This moment underscores the intense working environment in early Bollywood shoots, where Bhatt, then early in her career, navigated directions from established actors.
Bhatt's career spans over three decades, with credits in films like Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991) and more recent works such as Sadak 2 (2020). Her family ties to the industry, including siblings Rahul Bhatt and Alia Bhatt, have shaped her professional path. The recollection adds a personal layer to her experiences under Mahesh Bhatt's direction, known for bold and emotional storytelling.
