1. His alleged relationship with Rhea Chakraborty
This is not the first time Mahesh Bhatt’s name has been linked with Rhea Chakraborty. At the time of filming Jalebi, Mahesh Bhatt and Rhea’s pictures went viral on the internet in which they both seem to be ‘awkwardly’ close. The photos raised many questions regarding Mahesh Bhatt’s intentions towards the actress who is almost half his age.
Recently, a WhatsApp chat between Rhea Chakraborty and Mahesh Bhatt was scrutinised by the CBI. In the chat, actress shared personal details about her relationship with Sushant Singh Rajput and how she has finally ended her affair with him. Bhatt, on the other hand, sent her motivational quotes to uplift her mood and to ensure that she did the right thing by walking out on him.
2. Mahesh Bhatt allegedly threw ‘chappal’ at Kangana Ranaut
No one can verify the authenticity of Kangana’s claims, but according to her statements, Mahesh Bhatt hurled a footwear at Kangana Ranaut while shooting for Woh Lamhe. Allegedly, Bhatt got angry at the actress for not being present at the preview of the film and for turning down his offer for his next film Dhokha.
Ever since then, both of them are at loggerheads. Kangana spares no opportunity to call him or his family (Soni Razdan and Alia Bhatt) out during public interviews and on social media.

4. Mahesh Bhatt controversial lip lock with daughter Pooja Bhatt
Several theories and speculations are floating on the internet about Mahesh Bhatt and daughter Pooja Bhatt’s relationship. This all started from the time when Mahesh and Pooja featured on a magazine cover in which the latter is sitting on her dad’s lap and locking lips with him. The cover made millions of people uncomfortable and several questions were raised regarding the nature of their relationships.
Rumour mills were also churning that Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt were into an alleged incestuous relationship with each other.
To fuel this further, the filmmaker made a distasteful remark during an interview in which he said, “If Pooja weren’t my daughter, I’d love to marry her.”
