Pooja Bhatt opens up on her divorce with Manish Makhija

Bollywood actress turned director, Pooja Bhatt and her husband Manish Makhija (former Channel V VJ and restaurateur) ended their marriage after 11 years of being together.

Bollywood star Pooja Bhatt, who is now a contestant on Bigg Boss OTT 2, talked to a fellow contestant about her personal life on the fifth episode of the show.

Pooja Bhatt told Bebika Dhurve about her failed marriage and why she broke up with her ex-husband, Manish Makhija when she was talking to her.

When Bebika asked Pooja if she was married, the actor said, “I was married for almost 11 years. Then we decided that something was wrong, so why lie to ourselves? This wasn’t a practice run; we only get one shot.”

When Bebika asked Pooja if her ex-husband was an actor, Pooja said, “No, he wasn’t an actor, but he worked in the media and was a good man.”

Bebika Dhurve asked Pooja what month her ex-husband was born in, and she said, “He was a Capricorn.” We got along very well because of this.” Bebika told Pooja that Capricorns are very sensible and make good parents because of this. She also said, “At that time, my heart was not in the right place. I didn’t want to have children, even though I wanted them and loved them. But then I didn’t want kids, and I couldn’t lie about it. Even if I never meet anyone, it’s fine, but I can’t live a lie.

Pooja Bhatt fell in love with Manish Makhija, who was an Indian VJ and a restaurant owner in Mumbai.

After Pooja and Manish met for the first time, they quickly became best friends, and soon after that, they fell in love. Pooja Bhatt and Manish got married in 2003, after only two months of dating.

After 11 happy years of marriage, the two broke up in 2014.
