Mahesh Bhatt blasted by son Rahul for ‘being indifferent and never seeing him as his own’

Famed Bollywood filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt’s son Rahul Bhatt berated father for being indifferent towards him while treating his siblings Pooja, Shaheen and Alia Bhatt as his own.

Rahul has always been open about having sour ties with his father and unearthed interview of the director’s son has been making rounds that exhibits him reiterating that.

“My father Mahesh Bhatt never treated me like his own child. It's the raw uncut truth about my relationship with my father. Perhaps if Mr Mahesh Bhatt had been a father to me I wouldn't have got into the friendship with Headley,” Rahul said.

“My childhood insecurities, the lack of a father-figure in my growing years were lacunas in my life that Mr Headley used to win over my confidence. I was vulnerable. I had no father to guide me in my growing years," he added.

“I maintain my father was always been indifferent to me. He has always treated me like a [expletive]. I felt like Andy Garcia in The Godfather 3,” he said.

"I am not a bitter person. I think I am 'better' person because of Mr Bhatt's treatment. I believe what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I grew up with these feelings of anger and resentment which could've easily be harnessed by Mr Headley. That's what bothers me. I think I escaped miraculously from real damage."
