Pooja Bhatt calls out Amitabh Bachchan on Kathua case, gets trolled!

In a recent song launch event of ‘102 Not Out’ film, Amitabh Bachchan, the ambassador for government’s ‘Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao’ initiative was asked to comment on Kathua and Unnao rape case.

Big B replied by saying, “Mujhe uss vishay par charcha karne mein ghinn aati hai. So uss vishay ko uchhalo mat (I feel disgusted even talking about it. So, don’t rake up this issue). It’s terrible to even talk about it.” (Also Read: Rishi Kapoor back on Twitter says missed fights)

This reply did not go well with Pooja Bhatt and the actor-filmmaker took to Twitter and reminded people of ‘Pink’, a film where Bachchan played a lawyer who defended a woman’s right to consent.

I can’t help being reminded of a film called #Pink. Can our images on screen please be reflected in reality? 🙏 https://t.co/JHnc8PLDXY

This comment of her did not go well with the Twitterati and the filmmaker was trolled for the same.

One of the  Twitter user wrote, “A known alcoholic trying to gain publicity by using the name of a legend.” Pooja, who quit drinking in December 2016, replied: “A ‘recovering’ alcoholic and proud of it. In a country where people don’t even acknowledge they have a drinking problem, let alone discuss it, I am grateful to stand away from the crowd that considers holding your frailties to light shameful. #485dayssober.”

Pooja Bhatt gave back with a sassy reply.

Another user wrote, “Only brainless thakelis like Pooja would even think of comparing movie roles or fictional stories to real life issues… Obviously… living with too much make up & falsehoods drives her stupidity…”

This is how Pooja replied to this troll!

Yawn… 😴 https://t.co/UieZt5HDgK
