- MAYUKH MAJUMDAR

In an ever-changing world, if there’s something that can be said with certainity about Pooja Bhatt, it’s that she marches to her own tune. She has a hugely independent streak and she lives her life on her own terms. She doesn’t need anyone’s validation and she doesn’t care about criticism either. In a career spanning almost three decades, she has acted, produced and even directed movies. And she’s been fairly successful in all of them. She’s made movies the way she wanted to, not bowing down to market forces. After a hiatus of several years, Pooja has come back to acting in a big way. She is the central pillar of the series, Bombay Begums. Fans are raving about her performance and she’s basking in the praise with a smile, knowing that shadows are never far away. In a no-holds-barred interview, the star tells us about her upbringing, her alcoholism and her digital debut. Presenting the inimitable Pooja Bhatt...

YOUR DIGITAL DEBUT IS WINNING PLAUDITS FROM EVERYWHERE...

I’m delighted and humbled by the reception that Bombay Begums has received. Women from across the country have reached out to say that finally, we can see stories about real women and how it plays out in the real world. Spring has arrived in the backyard and I’m exulting in it. I’ve also been moved by messages from within the fraternity, who’ve reached out to me and showered me with so much love.
