"When I Was Seeing His Daughter...": Ranvir Shorey Accuses Mahesh Bhatt Of "Manipulating" Him
Ranvir Shorey has claimed that Mahesh Bhatt was "manipulating" him, and there was very "duplicitous behaviour going on."
Ranvir Shorey is one of the most talented actors and he has given many acclaimed performances. The actor, who was last seen in the second season of ZEE5 show 'Sunflower', has finally spoken about his fallout with director Mahesh Bhatt and his daughter Pooja Bhatt. In the latest Bollywood celebrity news, Ranvir Shorey claimed that Mahesh Bhatt was "manipulating" him, and there was very "duplicitous behaviour going on."
As per the latest Bollywood celebrity news, in a conversation with news agency ANI, Ranvir Shorey said, "I had great regard for Mr Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt) till the fiasco happened when I was seeing his daughter (Pooja Bhatt). Then I saw that actually whatever respect I had for him was being used to manipulate me… very duplicitous behaviour going on.”
In the latest Bollywood celebrity news, Ranvir Shorey and Pooja Bhatt dated each other for a while, however, the equation between the two took a dark turn when Pooja accused Ranvir Shorey of abusive behaviour and excessive drinking.
During the conversation with ANI, Ranvir Shorey also spoke about the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. For the unversed, SSR died allegedly by suicide in June 2020.
“And then this thing happened with Sushant a couple of years later and then I felt like I had to speak out. But all this is, you ask anybody from the film industry, anybody, most of them will say it off record, I can say it on record, I have no problem. This fully happens, you know, ganging up against someone, elbowing them out, standing on somebody’s toes, scuttling somebody’s career. This happens. This is a fact,” he said in the latest Bollywood celebrity news.
“It happens in politics, corporate and media too. But this part is not glamorous.” Ranvir Shorey also recalled his bond with Sushant over physics, saying, "I wouldn’t say we were close, but we were friends. We worked together. He had been home a few times. And we got along quite well during the two-month-long shoot of Sonchiriya. And we bonded over physics because both of us love physics. We had a lot of conversations on that."
Further speaking about his equation with Sushant Singh Rajput, Ranvir Shorey said, "I remember when we were shooting, there was an eclipse. It was a lunar eclipse and Saturn was lining up behind it. He flew down his big telescope from Bombay just for that. And when we were shooting in Dholpur, there was a big telescope in the garden."
"He called everyone, drinks, you know, cocktails and snacks and all. And that’s the only time I’ve looked through a telescope and seen it straight… There were three. Moon, Jupiter, Saturn lining up. With my eye. And I’m telling you, the feeling of seeing it through your eye via a telescope is very different from looking at it on a screen. There’s something… I don’t know what it is. It’s a different quality of experience…fond memories,” he added.
For the uninitiated, Ranvir Shorey is known for his performances in movies like 'Khosla Ka Ghosla', 'Traffic Signal', 'Bheja Fry', among others.
