Mumbai: Ranvir Shorey’s past life has once again made headlines after his stint in Bigg Boss OTT 3. His past relationship with Bollywood’s 90s actress Pooja Bhatt once again became a topic of discussion. After his exit from the show, when Ranvir was asked about physically abusing Pooja, as alleged by the actress herself, he reacted extremely hatefully.
Now in his defence, the Tiger 3 actor spoke to Siddharth Kannan, who recalled being assaulted by Pooja Bhatt’s brother and how Mahesh Bhatt portrayed him as an abuser and an alcoholic. Before their ugly breakup, Ranvir Shorey and Pooja Bhatt were good friends and dated for a few years.
Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Ranvir Shorey said in a very irritated tone, “When we had a fight, I felt that he used the respect I had for him in a very clever way. When the fight happened, he told my father, ‘Okay, let’s end this matter here, whatever fight happened was between kids.’ The very next day, he started publishing lies about me, publishing false stories against me in the media, portraying me as an alcoholic and an abusive person. It’s all a lie!”
Ranveer further claimed, “It was his brother who attacked me. He (Mahesh Bhatt) could have told these people not to say such things… In that sense, I felt he was cheating on me. These are all 25-year-old stories, I don’t want to get into them now.”
Pooja Bhatt had earlier accused him of physical violence and claimed that he used to beat her up after consuming alcohol.
Ranvir Shorey received criticism and hate for his behaviour against Sana Maqbool and Kritika Malik in the Bigg Boss OTT 3 house.
