The Bhatt family of Bollywood has always been one of the most reputed and famous families, not just because of the filmmakers like Mahesh Bhatt, Vikram Bhatt, Mukesh Bhatt, among others. But mainly because of the women of the Bhatt family. Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, Alia Bhatt is one of the topmost actresses of the tinsel town, and just like her, another power-packed woman from the Bhatt family is Mahesh Bhatt and Lorraine Bright’s (his first wife) daughter, Pooja Bhatt.

Pooja Bhatt was born on February 24, 1972, from her parents, Mahesh Bhatt and Kiran Bhatt (Lorraine’s name after marriage) and yesterday on February 24, 2019, she turned 47. Pooja's half-sister, Alia Bhatt (Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan’s daughter) had the most adorable birthday wish for Pooja. Alia took to her Instagram stories and sharing a pic with her half-sibling, wrote, “Happyyyy birthday to the strongest most honest person in our family. You are all things special.

Not just Alia Bhatt, but Soni Razdan also took to her Instagram handle to wish Pooja Bhatt and wrote, “Happy Birthday to one of the most beautiful women that I know ... both inside and out. Oh and also the strongest. @poojab1972 have a wonderful year love always.”
Pooja Bhatt is quite active on Instagram and on her 47th birthday, she shared three beautiful posts on her timeline. First, thanking her fans to wish her on her special day, Pooja shared the following picture and wrote, “And as I finally put this day and chapter to rest I go to bed overwhelmed with the love I have been so privileged to have received today. Thank you... to each and every one of you without exception who paused today to take a precious moment from your lives to wish me the best! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!” (Don't Miss: Kareena Kapoor Khan Had The Most Shocking Answer When Asked About Keeping Balance With Amrita Singh)
Pooja Bhatt’s next post is as emotional and heartfelt as it gets. Thanking her parents and paying them a tribute, Pooja wrote, “To my parents Lorraine Bright & Mahesh Bhatt who gave me life... Thank you! Not only for the privilege of existence but for teaching me that family and relationships are not defined by marriage certificates, divorce papers, paperwork & especially geography & where one lives. The dignity and respect with which you’ll treat each other even though you’ll have been separated for more than three decades inspires me more than you’ll will ever know.”
Her post could be further be read as, “Parents tend to forget that their children watch their actions & not merely listen to their words. Thank you again for leading by example and never setting standards for me that you’ll never first applied to yourselves! #47andblessed #postcardfromvietnam #parents #gratitude #mystrength.”
And lastly, a day before her birthday, on February 23, 2019, possibly at midnight, Pooja Bhatt shared the following pic and gave an insight about her life. She wrote, “Today is 26 months of my sobriety... to me that is a greater milestone than completing 46 years on this planet at midnight and being delivered into my 47’Th year tomorrow. You don’t have to work at getting older.. life does that for you.. but you do have to work,truly and honestly at remaining sober... especially in a world that is anything but and tests you every single, living moment.”
Her caption was further worded as, “The day you start to realise you are responsible for your actions, is the day your real life begins. My real life began 26 months ago... so thank you life, for another life in this very life... I go to bed with gratitude as my pillow and faith as my quilt.. and look forward to the morning.. to a new day, to the joy of knowing and owning who I am and taking complete responsibility for it. Love to everyone reading this.. and even to those who don’t know I exist. #milestones #sobriety #recovery #vulnerability #faith #gratitude #strength.” (Must Read: Shahid Kapoor's Step-Father, Rajesh Khatter Shares Heartfelt Birthday Message For Him As He Turns 38)
