What did Rahul Bhatt say about Ranvir Shorey and Pooja Bhatt’s argument in a podcast?
During his conversation with Siddharth Kannan, Rahul Bhatt revisited the argument and expressed regret over his actions. He also spoke about the legal consequences that followed. Recalling the argument between Ranvir and Pooja, Rahul said he overreacted when he intervened. He admitted to breaking the window of Ranvir’s car and fracturing one of the actor’s ribs.
He said, “There was an argument between Ranvir Shorey and Pooja Bhatt. They had an argument, after which Ranvir hit her [Pooja Bhatt] or something like that. I had to step in and, when I did, my response was a bit exaggerated. I broke his car’s glass and broke one of his ribs.”
Rahul further acknowledged that his actions led to his arrest and criminal charges for taking the law into his own hands. He further added, “I did a wrong thing by taking the law into my own hands. Subsequently, I paid the price for it. I was arrested. Charged.”
