New Delhi: Actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt is a contestant of 'Bigg Boss OTT 2' and the actor has been very honest and candid about her life on the show. She recently opened up about her alcohol addiction and how she overcame it. In the latest episode, the actor shared about her divorce from Manish Makhija, with whom she parted ways in 2014 after over a decade of marriage. 
 
Talking about her private life and relationships in the show, Pooja said: "I was married for almost 11 years. Then we decided that something is not right so why to live a lie." 
 
Calling her former spouse a good man, she added: "He was not an actor, but he belonged to the media business, and he was a good man." 
 
Pooja shared that they took their own separate ways with "dignity". 
 
"I want kids, and I love kids. But then, I didn't want to have kids and I couldn't lie at the risk of never meeting somebody, I couldn’t lie. It’s fine but I cannot lie... Whatever it was, it was good. We maintained dignity and parted ways." 

She also said that her biggest fear is to lose her father and live in a world where he is not present. Pooja also shared that on his birthday Mahesh Bhatt asked her what if she never sees him again and to which Pooja replied, “Wherever you would watch me, I will radiate. Otherwise what’s the point of being your daughter if I go back to the same old habits, and apne aap ko bottle mein kho dun?” 

Earlier, in a conversation with Cyrus she had spoken about her battle with alcoholism. She had said: "I had a drinking problem, and that's why I acknowledged my addiction and made the decision to quit. People used to call me an alcoholic but then I said I’m a recovering alcoholic.” 

Hosted by Salman Khan, ‘Bigg Boss OTT 2' streams on JioCinema.
