Director Mahesh Bhatt and controversy have an intimate relationship. The director who has been in the news since Sushant Singh Rajput’s death for his insensitive comments afterward has raked up another controversy. After his alleged link-ups with Sushant’s ex-girlfriend Rhea Chakraborty, Mahesh Bhatt’s old video with Jiah Khan is now doing the rounds of social media platforms. The video is of an underage Jiah sitting rather cosily with Mahesh Bhatt.
The netizens did not like the video and started taking Bhatt to the cleaners for his rather creepy behavior.

One tweeter by the name Dextro commented saying, “God knows how many young women have been a victim of this monster, he doesn’t even have an iota of shame. All these vulnerable women either give in to his demands or die unnatural deaths or if extremely lucky, only lose their careers & go quite!”

Jiah Khan had allegedly committed suicide in 2013 and Sooraj Pancholi was also embroiled in the controversy.
Mahesh Bhatt met both Sushant and Jiah before their suicides
Much like Sushant, who by Bhatt’s own admission had met Sushant before his suicide, Bhatt had claimed in 2018 that he had met Jiah Khan too, before her suicide.
According to a report in entertainment Times, dated, September 13, 2018, Bhatt claimed that Jiah Khan approached him for work before allegedly taking her life. He was quoted saying that the actress came to him for work, but he didn’t have any at the time. Later, on coming to learn of her alleged suicide, he “felt really bad.”
The netizens have been going berserk over this uncanny coincidence. However, a Reddit post has emerged where a user who is claiming to be Jiah Khan’s sister (TFI cannot guarantee the authenticity of this user) has made some shocking discoveries. She revealed that Jiah Khan never went to him and that she hated Bhatt deeply.
The twitter handle with the name @JiahKhanJustice tweeted, “There is a height to his lies my sister would never go to him she hated him deeply. she had six films in the pipeline we gave proof to CBI it’s these #BollywoodMafia who is putting a stop dragging the case by managing judicial system in Mumbai tell him to get his own health checked.”

The tweeter further mentioned that her sister disliked Mahesh Bhatt as his behavior was creepy. She also claimed that Bhatt was intimidating Jiah, who was only 16 at that time.

After Sushant’s death, Jiah Khan’s mother Rabiya Khan had also called ‘bullying is also kind of killing somebody’.
After Sushant’s death, the name of Mahesh Bhatt had been actively doing the rounds in several conspiracy theories suggesting Bhatt had a hand in pushing Sushant to the edge.
The propaganda newspaper of Congress, National Herald, had come with trash of an article that looked to tarnish the legacy of Sushant Singh Rajput. The disgusting article quoting one Suhrita Sengupta, who claims to be a close aide of Mahesh Bhatt, said that he (Bhatt) feared Sushant will commit suicide one day.
Moreover, there have been rumors going around on social media that Mahesh Bhatt and Rhea Chakraborty were having an affair. There have been claims that a few days before Sushant’s death, Rhea had deleted all personal photos with Sushant from her Instagram page. Whether it was because of the breakup or due to Bhatt’s intervention, the Mumbai police are investigating every possible angle.

Since the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, his fans and family have been demanding CBI probe for investigating the murder angle. Meanwhile, the can of worms has opened and many Bollywood biggies have come under the scanner.
The poster boy of controversy–Mahesh Bhatt
Mahesh Bhatt during his filming career has been involved in numerous scandals. It is worth mentioning that Parveen Babi and Mahesh Bhatt had an extra-marital affair back in the day and many industry insiders attribute Parveen’s mental problems to be Bhatt’s doing. Bhatt dated Parveen from 1977-1980 while being married to Lorraine aka Kiran Bhatt.
A picture of Mahesh Bhatt kissing his daughter passionately on the lips had appeared in the Filmfare magazine in the ’80s. “If Pooja wasn’t my daughter, I’d have loved to marry her.” Mahesh Bhatt had told the Filmfare magazine. His actions brought widespread criticism as everyone from the media to the film industry frowned upon Mahesh’s act of indecency.
Sushant a weirdo, Jiah an alcoholic
Just the way Sushant was painted as a weirdo who used to hear strange voices, Jiah Khan was also dubbed as an alcoholic, drug-user, and someone who had attempted suicide earlier.
The death of Sushant Singh Rajput has left everyone around the country in a state of shock. Sushant was a bright, intellectual star in the morally-corrupt of the world but unfortunately, the vultures of the Bollywood could not gulp his success and became an enemy of a person who just wanted to entertain people and gaze out at the stars through his telescope.
Jiah Khan’s death was also buried deep under by the biggies of Bollywood, but now Mahesh Bhatt is being called out for his alleged role in bullying Jiah.
