In his tweets, Pooja Bhatt added how the Bhatts were once treated indifferently for their reputation for not targeting big names: “There was a time when the Bhatts were accused of having something against established actors and felt inferior for only work with / launch newcomers and not chase the stars. And now the same people are playing the patronage card? Google and the tweet guys and won’t even say think and speak. “

Talk about launching new talent with Sadak 2, Pooja Bhatt wrote: “Even Sadak 2 gives birth to a whole new talent in the form of Suniljeet. A Chandigarh music teacher who came to our office without a prior appointment, a dream, a harmonium and a brilliant song called Ishq Kamaal which was absorbed in the film during my father’s first audition. “

Pooja Bhatt ended his tweets by saying: “Toh yeh ‘Nepotism’ shabd se kissi aur ko zalil karne ki koshish karo doston (So use this word “nepotism” to humiliate someone else, friends). The people who found their way into the movies using the springboard we have provided over the decades know what we stand for. And if they forgot, it’s their tragedy. Not ours. Have a nice day!”
