Overview
- Pooja Bhatt confirmed in a May 28 interview with Vickey Lalwani that she and Bobby Deol had a romantic relationship in the 1990s and described that period as "a magical time".
- She said they "grew in different directions" and declined to explain the breakup, saying it would be in poor taste to publicly dissect a past relationship when both people have moved on.
- Bhatt clarified that an earlier reference to an unsupportive boyfriend was not about Deol and that she "met Bobby much later in my life."
- She praised Deol's recent work, specifically his performance in Animal, and mentioned his upcoming films Bandar and Alpha as part of his current career resurgence.
- Coverage frames the exchange as a respectful, nostalgic revisit that emphasizes privacy for present families and highlights how both figures have continued separate personal and professional lives since the 1990s.
