New Delhi: Pooja Bhatt, who is currently in the Bigg Boss house, has not shied from speaking about her personal life on the show. She has opened about her alcoholism, her dad Mahesh Bhatt and more with her fellow contestants. In the latest episode, Pooja was seen talking about her divorce from Manish Makhija and said that it was the lowest phase of her life. Pooja and Manish parted ways in 2014 after over a decade of marriage.   

Pooja was seen talking to her co-housemate Jiya Shankar about her “lowest point”. She said: “The lowest point of my life was when I divorced my husband of 11 years and it was totally my decision. I couldn’t lie to myself as I didn’t feel like continuing it." 

She added that she wanted to live her life with comfort or keep her over a decade-long relationship. “My husband was not a bad person. Everything that was there between us was there. But then I thought that I had lost myself and it was not for somebody else or the betterment of life.” 

She added, "I wanted myself back but what did I do after that to hide my pain when it’s an 11-year-old relationship... It was called off suddenly and it felt like death... And later you go and hide behind alcohol because the bottle delivers.” 

“I thought that I wanted to set myself free and find myself but I put myself more into a bad zone.” “That phase in my life was the lowest phase of my life. I pushed myself to the bottom of the pool and suddenly one survivor's instinct crept in and I clawed my way out and I said ‘No boss, I am not giving up on myself’. I look straight in the eye and said yes you have become this otherwise what’s the difference between a bottle and a person. So now the universe said that I am ready.” 

Pooja had earlier talked about her divorce on the show and had said that she didn’t want kids then and the couple parted ways with dignity.
