In Bollywood, where glamour masks personal struggles, Pooja Bhatt’s story of self-discovery shines brightly. The 1972-born actress, known for ‘Dil Hai Ki Manta Nahin’ and ‘Sanam Teri Kasam,’ tied the knot with Mannish Makhija in 2003. Eleven years later, she walked away, a decision she owns fully.
During ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2,’ Pooja opened up about the heartbreak and resolve. ‘I didn’t want to continue; I felt I was losing myself in that relationship. My husband was good, but I chose peace over pretense.’ She views marriage as optional, not obligatory, placing personal happiness first.
Pooja’s career evolution—from acting prodigy to producer-director of ‘Dhoop,’ ‘Kajraare,’ and bold ‘Jism’—reflects her fearless spirit. Every pivot was deliberate, free from external pressures.
Her candidness has positioned her as a voice for empowerment. In interviews, she asserts life’s completeness independent of wedlock. Pooja’s divorce marks not an end, but a vital beginning, urging others to embrace authenticity amid societal norms. Her legacy? Proving bold choices lead to profound freedom.
