Meera takes back her accusations against Mahesh Bhatt

Meera, the Pakistani actress who shot to fame with the Mahesh Bhatt produced film Nazar, followed by Rajiv Babbar’s Kasak, has bounced back in the news! The actress plans to make a grand comeback in Bollywood, but not before she ruffles a few feathers in tinsel town.

At the receiving end is none other than her self-confessed mentor Mahesh Bhatt, whom she ‘blames’ for her sudden departure to Pakistan, post her debut in Bollywood. Meera said that it was not her decision to stop doing films, but says that she was asked to leave India by Maheshji. He did not like her being famous and interacting with other directors. Post that, she even alleged that Mahesh Bhatt was possessive and physically abusive, and that it was him who made her leave Bollywood and didn’t let her come back.

Mahesh Bhatt on the other hand has a different story to tell. The veteran filmmaker tweeted saying “Narcissistic Personality Disorder is the possible ‘ailment’ Meera could be suffering from. Such people have a larger than life persona!” Mukesh Bhatt too defended his brother Mahesh by saying that, when he introduced Meera in Nazar, little did he know then that they were entering into unknown territories with a mad woman. He also added that she’s a nutcase and that she tried to defame a credible man like Mahesh Bhatt. He also added that the reason Meera did all this was to promote her upcoming film in Pakistan.

However the story has now taken a new turn with Meera now saying that she was just joking and didn’t mean any harm against Mahesh Bhatt.

Surely this story seems to have more twists and turns even than a conventional Bollywood potboiler.
