What's the story

Bollywood actor and Bigg Boss OTT 3 contestant Ranvir Shorey has accused filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt's brother of manipulation and physical assault, respectively. In a candid interview with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube channel, Shorey claimed that Mahesh spread false stories about him being "abusive" and "alcoholic." The actor also alleged that he was physically assaulted by Pooja's brother during a conflict.

Relationship conflict

Shorey felt manipulated by Mahesh during a conflict with Pooja

Shorey, who recently finished as the second runner-up in BB OTT 3, spoke about his past relationship with Pooja. He claimed that during a conflict with her, he felt manipulated by Mahesh. "At the time we had a conflict, I felt that the respect I had for him, he used that manipulatively," Shorey said. "When the fight happened, he told my father, 'Ok, we will rest the matter here, whatever the fight happened between the kids.'"

False allegations

'All lies!': Shorey accused Mahesh of spreading false stories

Despite Mahesh assuring Shorey's father that they would resolve the issue, the filmmaker did something surprising. Shorey claimed, "next day, he proceeded to print utter lies about me, planted false stories in the media against me, painting me as an alcoholic abusive person. All lies!" He further added, "Her [Pooja] brother was the one, who assaulted me. He (Mahesh) could've told these guys not to talk like that...These are all 25-year-old stories."
