Actor-turned-director
Pooja
Bhatt
recently
took
to
Twitter
and
remembered
her
grandmother
Shirin
Nanabhai
Bhatt.
In
her
moving
post,
the
outspoken
lady
said,
she
was
a
secular
'Muslim
woman'
who
took
her
to
temples
and
churches,
helping
her
understand
the
true
essence
of
Indian
culture.
The
Jism
2
filmmaker
also
recalled
playing
her
'dadi'
in
the
evergreen
classic
Zakhm,
implying
it
was
a
moment
of
great
joy
for
her.
"15'Th
December
1998
is
when
our
film
#zakhm
got
censored.A
film
where
I
had
the
privilege
of
playing
my
grandmother,Shirin
Nanabhai
Bhatt-a
Muslim
woman
who
took
me
to
Siddhivinayak
temple
every
Tuesday
&
to
church
every
Wednesday
&
Friday.That
is
the
true
spirit
of
India,"
(sic)
she
tweeted.
In
case,
you
did
not
know,
Zakhm
was
a
'semi-autobiographical'
drama,
which
revolved
around
Mahesh
Bhatt's
relationship
with
his
mother
and
impressed
critics
due
to
its
intense
presentation
and
gripping
performances.
It
also
won
the
'Nargis
Dutt
Award
For
Best
Feature
Film
on
National
Integration'.
Ajay
Devgn
played
Pooja
Bhatt's
son
in
the
movie
and
bagged
his
first
National
award,
giving
fans
a
reason
to
rejoice.
Telugu
star
Nagarjuna
and
Kunal
Khemmu
too
were
a
part
of
the
movie.
Coming
back
to
Pooja
Bhatt,
she
is
working
on
the
eagerly
awaited
Sadak
2,
starring
Alia
Bhatt
in
the
lead.
The
biggie,
marking
Mahesh
Bhatt's
return
to
filmmaking,
has
piqued
the
curiosity
and
this
indicates
things
are
heading
in
the
right
direction.
Sanjay
Dutt,
Aditya
Roy
Kapur
and
Gulshan
Grover
too
are
a
part
of
the
cast.
Some
time
ago,
while
talking
about
Sadak
2,
Pooja
had
said
she
was
happy
about
working
with
her
dad
again.
"Wrap/Unwrap..
and
with
that
we
ended
a
truly
magnificent
schedule
for
Sadak
2
in
Mysore!
Can't
wait
to
be
back
on
set!
Each
day
pushed
our
limits,
each
day
revealed
something
more
to
each
of
us.
And
long
after
the
last
trunk
was
packed
and
the
last
tempo
sent
on
its
way
home,
the
fire
Mahesh
Bhatt
has
ignited
in
all
of
us
continues
to
blaze
with
fervour,
passion
and
a
desire
to
do
even
more,"
(sic)
she
had
written
on
Instagram.
So,
are
you
looking
forward
to
Sadak
2?
