This piece focuses on a Bollywood director known for creating numerous successful films and earning a significant name in the industry. His daughter is also making a splash in Hindi cinema and has become a superstar, possessing billions of rupees in wealth. However, the filmmaker once faced challenges while searching for work. He started looking for work at the age of 15, often without food.
The director is Mahesh Bhatt. He gave Bollywood many films in the 80s and 90s, which are still discussed today. He has achieved significant popularity and success in Bollywood. Mahesh became independent at a young age, starting work at 15.
Mahesh Bhatt, who recently celebrated his 77th birthday, was born on September 20, 1948, in Mumbai. His father was Nana Bhai Bhatt and his mother was Shireen Bhatt. Mahesh recalled in an interview that when he was 15, his mother said to him while he was eating, “Son, you don’t look good eating, your sisters work and you are eating here.” This statement greatly affected Mahesh.
After listening to his mother, Mahesh Bhatt left his food and left home in search of work in half pants. He said his mother did not stop him when he left the house in anger. The director then went to a friend to ask for a job.
