In the world of glamour, nothing comes for free, not even your personal space. In the world of glamour, nothing is private and the entire world wants to know what happening in the lives of their favourite celebrities. For a star despite knowing that he/she is a public face, having a personal space becomes out of the question. The constant media glares, being papped and clicked wherever they travel, without even sparing their family holidays sometimes becomes frustrating. But then that is the saddest truth of the glamour world as nothing here remains personal. (Also Read: Sanjay Dutt Revealed That He Used To Work In Jail So He Could Buy Gifts For His Sisters On Rakhi)

During the event, Pooja Bhatt had revealed a secret about the Bhatt family. She stated how except for Alia, everyone has inherited a genetic flaw from their father, Mahesh Bhatt. Talking about it, she stated that the flaw is being brutally blunt. She further revealed that in the glamour world, people except the stars to keep up with the celebrity image they have and she and Shaheen are not very good at it. She added this one thing is something they have inherited from their father and Alia is the lucky one, who has not got this quality which is the reason for Alia’s success.
Elaborating further she stated, “We say things as they are and not how the people expect us to say them. And, I think the reason you (Alia) are so successful is that because you have not inherited that exactly like Shaheen and I have. You're able to separate the two. The truth does not go down well in Bollywood.” (Also Read: Govinda's Daughter, Tina Ahuja Supports Her 'Strong-Headed' Cousin, Arti Singh To Win 'Bigg Boss 13')
Talking about the mindset of people, she also added, “We're living in a fake world which is full of appearances, where people don't want you to say, 'I'm not okay.' They don't give a damn whether you're a cocaine addict or have an alcohol problem. As long as you look okay and show up and your waist size is perfect, nobody cares about what's going inside.”
