A few decades back, alia Bhatt's father made the shocking claim that he would have married pooja bhatt if she hadn't been his older daughter. This comment generated a lot of controversy in the media back then.
Cut to the present, when pooja bhatt has replied to the persistent claims that alia bhatt is her child by calling them "idiotic." She showed her annoyance by adding, "In our nation, discussing someone's connection with their family members is an old custom. How then do you respond to that? Is there any respect in answering it? It's ridiculous.
Years ago, alia bhatt addressed this rumour on karan Johar's discussion programme. She cited the erroneous allegation that claimed she was mahesh bhatt and pooja Bhatt's daughter as the most ludicrous rumour she has ever heard about herself. To be clear, alia bhatt is pooja Bhatt's half-sister and the daughter of Mahesh Bhatt's second wife, Soni Razdan. pooja bhatt is the daughter of mahesh bhatt and kiran Bhatt.


To the claims that alia bhatt is her daughter, pooja bhatt has responded. pooja described these claims as "idiotic" in an interview with siddharth Kannan and noted how it has nearly become a trend for individuals to start talking about another person's relationships with their family members.

In an interview with siddharth Kannan, when pooja was asked whether she was aware that there was a rumour that alia bhatt is her daughter, pooja immediately said how she considers it 'idiotic' and then asked how did alia react to this herself. When the host revealed that alia laughed it off saying it was a ridiculous rumour, pooja added, "I find it is revealing the person more aur hamare desh mein toh ye bahut purani cheez hein... (It is an old aspect of our country) ki start talking about somebody's relationship with their daughter or with their bhabhi (sister-in-law) or with their sister or with their whatever. So now how do you counteract that? Us cheez ko dignity bhi de sakte hein respond kar ke (Is there any dignity in responding to it)? It's absurd."
