“I Was The One In Abusive Relationship With Pooja Bhatt”: Ranvir Shorey Slams Fake PR Media

Tabloids have been in the business of defaming men by picking up instances that may have happened years or decades ago. Naming, shaming and accusing men for allegedly abusing a former actor girlfriend without evidence, seems absolutely normal in the PR Bollywood world. However, if genders are reversed, this is the same machinery that starts harping on the ‘misogynist and sexist’ mindset of society.

The Bollywood actors in question here are Ranvir Shorey and Pooja Bhatt, who happened to be in a relationship at one point in time (prior to 2003). An online portal pens an article about Ms Bhatt on August 31, 2020 titled “Pooja Bhatt’s Love Life: From Abusive Relation With Ranvir Shorey To Broken Marriage Of 11 Years”.

While trying to project Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter as a victim in her relationship with ex-boyfriend Shorey, the portal also published a detailed section in the article sub-titled “Infamous live-in relationship with Ranvir Shorey”.

Some excerpts from the article read as below:

Pooja and Ranvir were a thing long back and the then lovers even stayed together in an apartment. And if the reports are to be believed, Pooja and Ranvir were in fact engaged to each other. The two allegedly broke off because of Ranvir’s abusive behaviour, over-drinking habit, and specifically, for an incident where he struck her in a drunken stupor. In an interview, Pooja even shared that she was in a relationship with an alcoholic who used to beat her up.

Ranvir took to Twitter to slam such ‘sustained defamatory and malicious PR campaigns’ against him. Shorey also called out the portal for not bothering to fact check old police and media records which would clarify that it was instead him, who was abused by the Bhatts. He quoted:

These kind of articles are the result of the sustained defamatory & malicious PR campaign that these film moguls have targeted me with for years! None of the media will bother to fact check old police and media records that will show that it was I who was abused by them!

Ranvir also continued alleging that Bhatt’s ex-husband restaurateur Manish Makhija was infact Shorey’s best friend, however, he turned around and married Pooja right after their split. He said:

This guy in the photos used to be my best friend right up until after the incident, and then turned around and married her. All kinds of relationships are manipulated and psychological warfare used.

Here are the details from the article:

One of the infamous relationships of Pooja Bhatt has been, undoubtedly, with Ranvir Shorey. Pooja and Ranvir were a thing long back and the then lovers even stayed together in an apartment. And if the reports are to be believed, Pooja and Ranvir were in fact engaged to each other. The two allegedly broke off because of Ranvir’s abusive behaviour, over-drinking habit, and specifically, for an incident where he struck her in a drunken stupor. In an interview, Pooja even shared that she was in a relationship with an alcoholic who used to beat her up.

On the other hand, in an explosive interview, Ranvir shared a totally different story. Sharing how their relationship was, Ranvir after their bitter separation stated, “Just like any normal couple. We had our share of tiffs. But today (pauses and begins to look at the ceiling). I used to drink at her place. Often, she used to say I was drinking too much and not taking enough care of her. On such occasions, I used to volunteer leaving the scene. That used to irritate her, and she would get violent. A scuffle would ensue. Mind you, it takes me drinking to get violent. She gets violent without drinking, too. I must have told her a relationship cannot work if she behaved like this at least 30 times.”

When he was asked about that night when the ugly spat happened and they decided to part ways, he said, “Like every day, I was at Pooja’s place. The usual scuffle ensued. I decided to call off the relationship. Things got out of hand. I packed my bags and left. When I slid behind the steering wheel of my car, I realised I had forgotten one of my bags. I started calling Pooja on her cell phone (groans). She disconnected my calls. I kept trying to reach her. As I was dialling, I heard the glass shatter around me. I looked back to see that both windows of my car had been broken. I came out and saw Pooja’s brother Rahul standing with an iron rod. I was dazed. Before I knew what happened, he started whacking me with the rod.”

And when he was asked, Pooja said that he was having a scuffle and she got hurt, he interrupted, “Rubbish. Rahul was not present at the time Pooja and I quarrelled. I am still not able to figure out how he sprung up outside my car. Her statements that I hit on her stitches and her brother came to her rescue are all lies.”
