In a chat with Siddharth Kanan, Pooja Bhatt termed the accusations "idiotic" and remarked, “Ye toh humare desh mein bahut purani cheez hai (This is not new in our country). Start talking about somebody’s relationship with their daughter or with their bhabhi or with their sister or with their whatever. Now, how do you counteract that? Ke aap iss cheez ko dignity bhi de sakte hai respond kar ke? It is absurd.”

Pooja didn't only talk about the rumours; she also discussed her relationship with Alia. The actress has claimed that Alia was following her adventures journey on ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2’.

She shared, "Alia called me the day I came out of 'Bigg Boss' and told me 'Pooja, I have felt the closest to you during 'Bigg Boss' because there has been not a single day when I did not watch it.' She used to watch the show 24/7."
