Calling actress and director Kangana Ranaut a “bachi”, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt said that he would not like to comment against a “bachi” (child), who started her Bollywood journey as an actress from his production company Vishesh Films.
On being asked about the recent social media attack by Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel, Bhatt told reporters, “…she (Kangana) is a ‘bachchi’, started her journey with us. Just because her relative (sister Rangoli) is attacking me, I won’t comment.”
“Our upbringing and culture teach us that we should not raise a finger on our children. So saying anything against our children would not be possible. My upbringing stops me to do so,” the veteran filmmaker added. Bhatt was talking to media persons at the screening of the film ‘Yours Truly’, which is also his acting debut.
“Till I die, I will never ever say anything against our child because it is against my upbringing, it is against my nature,” he maintained.
His comments came after Rangoli attacked him and his wife Soni Razdan earlier this month.
“…but later when she went for ‘Woh Lamhe’ preview to a theatre, he threw chappal at her, he didn’t allow her to see her own film, she cried whole night …. and she was just 19 years old (sic),” she had tweeted.
