Mahesh Bhatt owes Alia Bhatt an apology for pulling the pathetic stunt on her with Sadak 2

Why did Mahesh Bhatt return to direction after 22 years to make the film as deplorable as Sadak 2, and that to direct his superstar-daughter, Alia Bhatt, for the first time? We will never know.  Sadly he has also affected Alia’s career.

Already reeling under the impact of the raging nepotism debate, the sheer shoddiness of Sadak 2 is likely to make a very big impact on Alia’s next release Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Gangubai Kathiawadi.

Many in the know feel Sadak 2 has taken Alia’s career down by many notches. Many of Alia’s closest well-wishers including Karan Johar are secretly wondering how Mahesh Bhatt could pull this pathetic stunt on his daughter.

Not that Bhansali is overly worried. “Alia has given the performance of a lifetime in Gangubai Kathiawadi and SLB knows it. He’s pretty sure the whole nepotism debate and the impact of Sadak 2 will be considerably reduced by the time his film releases,” says a source close to Bhansali.

But we do feel Mahesh Bhatt owes his daughter an apology.

“If the same script had been offered to her by any other director Alia would have turned it down without a second thought. The fact that she did Sadak 2 for her father shows how much faith she, and for that matter poor Aditya Roy Kapur, had in Mahesh Bhatt. He has let both of them down very badly,” says a prominent filmmaker who is very close to both actors.

Sanjay Dutt’s illness shatters the Bhatts

There is no denying the fact that the Bhatt family, especially Mahesh Bhatt and his eldest daughter Pooja are very close to Sanjay Dutt for years now. When the news of Dutt’s illness reached the Bhatts, they were deeply affected.

“Bhatt Saab has been close to Sanjay Dutt for close to 30 years. They’ve done films like Sadak, Naam and Kubzaa together. Bhatt Saab was right there next to Dutt through his trial and incarceration for alleged terror activities. Bhatt Saab was shattered when he heard of Sanjay’s illness. The sad part is, because of the controversies currently around Bhatt Saab and his association with Rhea Chakraborty he is unable to hold Sanjay Dutt’s hands when he needs him the most,” says a source very close to the Bhatts.

Pooja Bhatt was unable to express herself on her Sadak co-star’s illness. “What do you want me to say? May I please be permitted to process this tragedy internally?” is all she’d say.

Shri Swatantra Chopra My Hero. My idol. My inspiration. . Will I ever manage to be a millionth of a man that he was ? Don't think so.. The ideal man , the ideal son,the ideal brother, a man who always put family above EVERYTHING else. An ideal father ...it took me 25 years to even come to terms with the fact that all fathers are not like him.. That he was special .. I was blessed..and as his son that's the legacy I have inherited...loved and respected so so much more than I ever will be..a celebrity in its true terms. As a child , me walking down the street or the market always knew that I was recognised as his son. By all. That the shopkeeper will greet me and take lesser money because I was his son...was something that i was used to.. This : when he didn't even know of their existence. It was a regular affair to find some unknown person at our gates bringing along a guest who was looking for our house. All you had to say was "Chopra Saab's house? " And anybody in that vast radius would bring you to the correct place. The love ,warmth and generosity that he had .. the idealism, the strength... An ideal husband..devoted his entire existence towards making my mother better in these last four years. To the point of getting a disease trying to protect her and then leaving all of us to keep her company.. She left us on the 19th and he did on the 29 th.. 10 days ..and they're both gone.. A void , vacuum that no amount of time will ever fill... #MerePapa
