The upcoming episode of Indian Idol promises to be emotional as veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and daughter actress Pooja Bhatt took a nostalgic ride and revisited memories from their iconic film Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin. During a candid interaction, Pooja Bhatt revealed about being on the receiving end of her father’s strict direction. She joked about how Mahesh Bhatt would shout “POOJA, SHUT UP!” across the set instead of calling for silence.
Mahesh Bhatt revealed that he was in his 40s when he directed the film, while Pooja Bhatt shared that she was just 19 years old at the time, proudly reflecting on her journey. The duo fondly recalled behind-the-scenes moments, including the much-loved “tarbooja ka beej” scene and the energy on set during the shoot of the film’s title track.
