Ranvir Shorey Claims Pooja Bhatt’s Brother Once Assaulted Him, Adds, Mahesh Bhatt ‘Planted False Stories’

Ranvir Shorey frequently shares insights into his personal life. Recently, the actor, who finished as the second runner-up on Bigg Boss OTT 3, revealed that he was physically assaulted by Pooja Bhatt’s brother following their breakup.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Ranvir also claimed that filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, Pooja’s father, spread false rumors about him.

The actor, while speaking about his past relationship with Pooja, said, “At the time we had a conflict, I felt that the respect I had for him, he used that manipulatively. When the fight happened, he told my father, ‘Ok, we will rest the matter here, whatever the fight happened between the kids.’ Next day, he proceeded to print utter lies about me, planted false stories in the media against me, painting me as an alcoholic abusive person. All lies!”

Shorey further stated, “Her brother was the one, who assaulted me. He (Mahesh Bhatt) could have told these guys not to talk like that…. In that sense I felt he was manipulative towards me. These are all 25 years old stories, I don’t want to get into them now.”
