Many seek his advice,
and he has a valuable one more often than not. So, Mahesh Bhatt finds himself
as one of the chapters in the Hrithik Roshan-Kangana Ranaut scandal.
SpotboyE has exclusively learnt that Hrithik
requested Bhatt to meet him in his hour of crisis. The meeting took place at
Hrithik's Juhu house.
When contacted, Bhatt confirmed and said, "Well, I think Hrithik has been
talking to a lot of people. Frankly, I don't happen to know him personally or
professionally. I only know him cordially as he happens to be an industry star
and Rakesh Roshan's son. But yes, I did meet him as he wanted to seek my wisdom
on how he should handle this delicate situation he finds himself in."
And what did the Koi Mil Gaya star tell him? "Well, he gave me a
blow-by-blow account which is also in the media. And I must say that he
was very keen that this painful, dark and embarrassing chapter of his
life comes to and end."
Bhatt's reply? "I told him that such stories will have three sections of
answers- favouring him, against him or being indifferent to him. The end result
would depend on what the majority of people feel towards him, which they will
decide looking at the data that's floating outside."
Did Hrithik ask for Bhatt's intervention to ask Kangana to come to a truce?
"No, he only asked if there 's any way that this can be resolved and I
told him that both of you have a very clear stand, so let a non-industry
neutral body sit and come to a conclusion else you'll not get a sense
of finish."
So what does Mahesh Bhat feel? Is he giving Hrithik a clean chit? Did Hrithik
not have a scene with Kangana? "Based on what he showed and told me, what
meets the eye is something very tragic, the picture that emerges before my eyes
has the making of a tragedy."
Added Bhatt, "The I-know-it-all types are perhaps not aware of another
angle to this story which may have still been unreported."
Could Hrithik have hacked Kangana's account? "He has consistently taken a
stand, and that needs to be noted. I don't think that a person whose hands
are stained with blood would then have put the entire thing on public domain
(Bhatt is clearly referring to the mails which Hrithik has leaked out). I mean,
why would he put his story up for public scrutiny then? Isn't that a question
to ask?"
There is one more question to ask if not two. What if Kangana has damning evidence which
she is holding back? "Look. I haven't reached a conclusion," Bhatt
replied, "I have a suspended opinion on this as I believe that everything
is still not known. Above all, I have heard only one side of the
story. Honestly, it doesn't concern me. I came into it because Hrithik
wanted my advice as an elderly. I concluded my meeting with him by telling him
that he'll have to weather the storm until the investigative agencies have run
out of all their options. Till then, he should trust them and have patience.
And I think we all should play the waiting game and not take sides until every
detail is out in the open."
"As for Kangana, she started off from my camp (Woh Lamhe) and I have
always wished well for her. She is very passionate about her
work," Bhatt emphasised.
Does this mess affect Hrithik and Kangana's image in the public eye? Both are
grossly worried, we bet. "No, it won't. We don't live in those times
anymore. Both are superb actors and very important members of the film
industry. This too shall pass," Bhatt concluded.
