Daughter of filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja has spearheaded many super-hit films in Bollywood. To name a few, Sadak, Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin, Border, amid others. Up next, she has Bombay Begums 2 in the pipeline.

Pooja hails from a family of stars, Alia Bhatt being her half-sister. In a recent interview with Aaj Tak, Pooja opened up about her thoughts on Alia, Gangubai Kathiawadi, the Bhatt legacy, and so on.

Excerpts from the interview:

Pooja Bhatt was asked about half-sister Alia Bhatt's recently-released film, Gangubai Kathiawadi. She stated, “I watched the first-day first-show of Gangubai Kathiawadi.” Not just this, the actress said that she was delighted with the fact that out of the 50% capacity (in theatres), 80% of the audience were women and it made her proud.

Talking about Alia's performance, Pooja said, "Usually, you don't expect multiplex audiences to whistle and shout, but while watching Gangubai, I heard whistles, screams, yelling in the theatres. This proves that the film has hit the mark and how. She (Alia) was a girl, and now, she is a woman and she is dazzling."
