Pooja Bhatt shares a rare glimpse of her childhood days featuring late mother Kiran Bhatt & brother Rahul Bhatt
Mumbai, May 21
Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, on Thursday morning,bas she shared a rare picture from her childhood days featuring her late mother Kiran Bhatt and younger brother Rahul Bhatt.
The heartfelt throwback picture shared by Pooja on her social media account, featured a young Pooja sitting beside her mother Kiran Bhatt, while little Rahul Bhatt is seen resting comfortably in Kiran's arms.
The black-and-white frame captures a happy family moment from their early years.
In the picture, a young Pooja is seen in a checked shirt with braided hair, while Kiran Bhatt is seen holding on to Rahul protectively.
For the uninitiated, Kiran Bhatt, Pooja Bhatt's mother and filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt's first wife, remained away from the limelight for most of her life.
Kiran reportedly passed away in 2003 after battling prolonged health complications. Her demise had deeply affected the Bhatt family, especially Pooja and Rahul, something both have spoken of during many of their past interviews.
Mahesh Bhatt then married actress Soni Razdan. Together, they are parents to actress Alia Bhatt and author Shaheen Bhatt.
Talking about Pooja Bhatt, the actress went on to emerge as one of the most prominent actresses of the 1990s.
She made her acting debut as a lead actress with her father Mahesh Bhatt's 1989 television film 'Daddy' where she starred opposite Anupam Kher.
She later rose to superstardom with films like 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin' opposite Aamir Khan, which became one of the biggest romantic hits of the era.
Pooja was also loved for her innocent and bubbly comic performances in films like 'Prem Deewane'.
She then went on to star in movies like 'Sadak', 'Junoon', 'Sir', 'Chaahat', 'Tamanna', and 'Zakhm'.
Apart from acting, Pooja Bhatt also established herself as a filmmaker and producer. She ventured into direction with films like 'Paap', starring John Abraham and Udita Goswami, and later directed movies including 'Holiday' and 'Kajraare".

Really heartwarming to see this side of the Bhatt family. They've had their share of ups and downs, but this photo shows pure love. Pooja's journey from a child in this picture to a successful actress-director is truly inspiring. And Rahul looks so tiny and cute! 😊
Beautiful picture, but I can't help thinking about how complex family dynamics can be. Mahesh Bhatt's personal life has always been complicated, yet this image shows a moment of pure happiness. It's nice to see Pooja acknowledging her mother's role in her life. We often forget the first family.
Nostalgia at its finest! 🥺 Pooja Bhatt was such a natural in films like 'Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin' and 'Sir'. Her innocence on screen was unmatched. This photo captures that same innocence from her childhood. May Kiran Bhatt's soul rest in peace. Family memories are truly priceless.
I appreciate Pooja Bhatt sharing this rare glimpse, but it also reminds me of the media's tendency to always bring up the Bhatt family drama. This is a simple, beautiful moment - can we just celebrate it without overanalyzing? Kiran Bhatt clearly loved her children deeply. That's all that matters.
Such a poignant post. 💔 Pooja Bhatt has always been very open about her mother's passing and how it affected her. This black-and-white photo feels like a time capsule of love and warmth. It's lovely that despite all the public attention, she still holds these private memories close and shares them with us.
