A biography for Pooja Bhatthasn’t been written yet.
“I have always wanted to be independent. When I became a producer, people said I would not succeed, but I proved them wrong.”
“I was India's youngest producer. I was 21 when I produced my first film. I've continued to produce films because of the people who have worked with me and supported me.”
“I am sorry if I am going to disappoint women who feel that becoming a mother completes you. I don't feel I am any less of a woman for not having a child.”
“I am single, successful, and reasonably attractive. Whether I decide to have relationships that end in taking the plunge or not, they are my decisions.”
“Your film is a hit, you bathe in champagne; it flops, a single malt lessens the pain.”
“I want to be a star who acts as well.”
“Very often, unfortunately, people may believe something, but they go along with a group of people because they don't have the courage to stand alone or stand up for themselves.”
“I had said bye-bye to acting, in a way, but once an actor, always an actor. Life has got other plans for me. Like, I did not want to be an actor - I wanted to be an architect or astronaut - and 'Daddy' happened, and the rest is history.”
“It is important to change, acknowledge, and accept our mistakes. It's important that we - this goes even for me - introspect and see the wrongs we have done. It's time we all grew up.”
“Metamorphosis is important as long as we learn from everything.”
“Some people don't have the luxury to see a future without the man, as they are dependent on him. That's because they put their education or priorities aside to be mothers or wives to somebody.”
“Since I started as an actress in the film industry, I realised the power of visuals and how that can fuel the imagination of our mind. It is very powerful. Therefore, I always cater to my own sensibility first and then to the world.”
“Life begins at 40. I could attempt writing. Life is taking me into different directions.”
“It's important for me that anything I lend my stamp to must have a perspective that is uniquely mine.”
“A film based on my life would not be as interesting as my father. I have not lived a life as enriching as my father. I have only been observer to his life, so I think I'm the best person to make a documentary on him.”
“I am grateful to all the ups and downs in my life.”
“Sobriety has been the most life-affirming path for me.”
“Now, with a click of a button, one has access to amazing content across a wide plethora to choose from; hence, traditional filmmakers will have to evolve in order to cater to the palate of the newly empowered end consumer or perish.”
“I would love to make a documentary on my father, Mahesh Bhatt. What is interesting about Bhatt sahab is that he became more interesting personality after he left work.”
“Most filmmakers looked at it as a medium to palm off sub-standard stuff. I don't look at it like that. Your TV screen, mobile screen is as relevant as a cinema hall.”
