Pooja Bhatt Slams A Troll For Calling Her ‘Seasonal Insect’ & ‘Known Alcoholic’
Actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt tweeted her disappointment when Amitabh Bachchan refrained from commenting on the Kathua and Unnao rape cases. As a consequence, she was trolled mercilessly. However, not the one to take things lying down, Pooja shot back...
A couple of days
ago trolls began making nasty comments when Pooja Bhatt slammed Amitabh
Bachchan for his unwillingness to address the Kathua and Unnao rape
cases.
During an event,
when Big B was asked about two major rape cases, he had said, “Mujhe uss
vishay par charcha karne mein ghinn aati hai. So uss vishay ko uchhalo mat (I
feel disgusted even talking about it. So, don’t rake up this issue). It’s
terrible to even talk about it.”
Reading his reply,
Pooja Bhatt took to Twitter and slammed Big B’s resistance to comment on the issue.
Her tweet read, “I can’t help being reminded of a film called #Pink. Can our images on screen please be reflected in reality? 🙏”

While Big B’s refusal
to comment on Kathua and Unnao rape cases
divided fans into two groups, Bhatt’s comment got her a fair share of
trolling.
One of the troll
read, “A seasonal insect, and a known
alcoholic trying to gain publicity by
using the name of a legend Amitabh Bachchan.”
Pooja, who quit drinking in December 2016, replied: "A 'recovering' alcoholic and proud of it. In a country where people don't even acknowledge they have a drinking problem, let alone discuss it, I am grateful to stand away from the crowd that considers holding your frailties to light shameful. #485dayssober."

In 2016, Pooja
Bhatt came clean about her alcohol addiction. While speaking to a section on media, Pooja had said, “Luckily,
I pulled the plug before it became impossible for me to stop. I’m in the pink
of health except for the weight I put on because I’m now a stressful producer. But
being the daughter of an alcoholic makes you four times more susceptible to becoming one. I was
45 and if I wanted to give myself 10 years of living, I had to quit now before
I drank myself to the grave. I had to reclaim the sharper, brighter me which had got watered down.”
Pooja’s father
Mahesh Bhatt too posted a cryptic tweet post Big B’s statement. His tweet read,
“Woh jo Khamosh thay shaamil hain Zina mein mere. Woh jo khamosh hain shaamil hain Zina mein mere - Gauhar Raza”
