Pooja’s father Mahesh Bhatt was recently quizzed about the same. The veteran filmmaker in an interaction with ETimes said, “Life’s greatest adventures begin when we step into the realm of the unknown with courage and curiosity. She has done just that. I admire her audacity.” Pooja recently opened up about her drinking problem in one of the episodes of Bigg Boss Season 2. She told, “I recognized that I had a drinking problem. That’s why I openly shared my addiction and my decision to quit drinking. Because in our society, addiction and recovery are considered a man’s territory. Men are given the license to openly discuss alcohol addiction and recover.” Pooja further added, “However, women are discouraged from openly drinking and therefore, their recovery remains hidden. I used to drink openly, so when I decided to recover from alcoholism, I realized that I shouldn’t do it secretly.” The Chup: Revenge of the Artist actress also opined, “Society gives a license to men and thus they can openly speak about being addicted and recovering from alcoholism. However, women don’t openly drink and so they don’t openly recover. I used to drink openly so when I thought of recovering from alcoholism, I realised that why should I recover in the closet?” The Bigg Boss OTT 2 contestant also revealed that, “People used to call me an alcoholic but then I said I’m a recovering alcoholic.”
Bigg Boss OTT 2 is streaming on Jio Cinemas app and starts airing 9 pm onwards.
