Pooja Bhatt breaks silence on reports claiming Alia Bhatt is her daughter
In a conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Pooja Bhatt was asked to comment on these rumors, and she referred to them as absurd. She said, making fun of the rumor mongers, that since people usually discuss someone’s relationship with the other person, rumors about it have been a staple of Indian society for a very long time. Pooja stated:
“Ye toh humare desh mein bahut purani cheez hai. Start talking about somebody’s relationship with their daughter or with their bhabhi or with their sister or with their whatever. Now, how do you counteract that? Ke aap iss cheez ko dignity bhi de sakte hai respond kar ke? It is absurd.”
When Alia Bhatt talked about her relationship with Pooja Bhatt
Back in 2014, Alia Bhatt also discussed her relationship with her step-sister, Pooja Bhatt, and said that since they are all related as a family, it doesn’t concern her that the latter isn’t really her sister. She continued by saying that the Bhatt family is so genuine that they enjoy being together without putting on a show. She was reported to have said:
“Actually recently it’s become much better. We have gotten close as a family. People would always say that you have a step-sister, stepmother, and all that but it never bothered me. Because our family is so real and honest with each other. There is no façade or fakeness. So when we spend time with each other, we genuinely like to spend time with each other.”

“Well, this will require a whole different discussion because I can’t sum up Alia Bhatt’s career in two sentences. I have to be fair to my younger sister, who is the better version of me. I can’t speak about her work in films in a few lines.”
