On her father's side, Bhatt is of predominantly Gujarati descent and on her mother's side, she is of English, Scottish, Armenian, and Burmese ancestry.[3][4][5][6] She is the step-daughter of Soni Razdan. She has a brother, Rahul Bhatt and half-sisters Shaheen and Alia Bhatt.[7] Her cousins are Hitarth Bhat and Emraan Hashmi.[8]

Career

Bhatt made her acting debut at age 17, in 1989 with Daddy, a TV film directed by her father Mahesh Bhatt. In the film she portrayed a soul-searching teenage girl in an estranged relationship with her alcoholic father, played by actor Anupam Kher.

Her biggest solo hit and her big screen debut came with the musical hit Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin (1991),[7] which was a remake of the Oscar-winning Hollywood classic It Happened One Night. Pooja Bhatt appeared in many bold shoots like Stardust.[9]

Her most well-known films in the 1990s included Sadak[7] opposite Sanjay Dutt (1991), Junoon, Jaanam, and Phir Teri Kahani Yaad Aayee opposite Rahul Roy, Sir (1993) and Guneghar (1995) opposite Atul Agnihotri, Tadipaar (1993) and Naaraaz (1994) opposite Mithun Chakraborty, Hum Dono opposite Rishi Kapoor, Angrakshak opposite Sunny Deol (1995), Chaahat opposite Shah Rukh Khan (1996), Tamanna (1997), the super-hit and multi-starrer Border (1997) and Zakhm (1998), opposite Ajay Devgan.

Her last film appearance was in the English language film Everybody Says I'm Fine! in 2001. She has since focused on producing and directing. She made her directorial debut with Paap in 2004, starring John Abraham and Udita Goswami. Since then, she has made four more directorial ventures: Holiday (2006), Dhokha (2007), Kajraare (2010) and Jism 2 (2012).[7]

In 2020, Bhatt returned to acting with Sadak 2, a sequel to the hit 1991 film. Her father returned to directing with this film after 20 years.[10] It was released on 28 August 2020 on the streaming platform Disney+ Hotstar.[11]

In 2021, Bhatt will be seen in the Alankrita Shrivastava directed upcoming webseries Bombay Begums. It will also feature Amruta Subhash, Shahana Goswami, Plabita Borthakur and Aadhya Anand.[12]

Controversies

Mahesh Bhatt became the talk of the town and was slammed by the media after the filmmaker shot for a magazine cover which showed him and his daughter Pooja kissing each other on the lips. Her father also stated that: "If Pooja wasn't my daughter, I'd love to marry her."[13][14][15]
