During his stint on Bigg Boss OTT 3, actor Ranvir Shorey has opened up about a deeply personal and tumultuous chapter of his life – his breakup with actress Pooja Bhatt in the early 2000s, which he has described as the “biggest scandal” of his life.
Recalling the Tumultuous Relationship
Ranvir revealed that he was dating Pooja Bhatt while shooting for the film Lakshya in 2002. However, their relationship took a dark turn, leading to a messy separation. Ranvir said he was unable to cope with the situation and had to take a break, even borrowing money from his brother to go to the US for a six-month acting course.
The Aftermath and Moving Forward
After returning from the US, Ranvir’s career started picking up, with two of his long-shelved films releasing back-to-back and being well-received by the audience. This helped him feel more steady as an actor and that he had “arrived” professionally.
Ranvir’s Personal Life Post-Breakup
In 2010, Ranvir Shorey married actress Konkona Sen Sharma, and the couple welcomed a son, Haroon, in 2011. However, they separated in 2015. Ranvir now shares the custody of his son with Konkona.
Pooja Bhatt’s Perspective
Interestingly, Pooja Bhatt had also participated in the previous season of Bigg Boss OTT and was among the finalists. She has not publicly commented on her breakup with Ranvir Shorey.
Ranvir’s candid admission about this tumultuous chapter of his life has resonated with the audience and provided a glimpse into the personal struggles that celebrities sometimes face behind the glitz and glamour. His openness about this “biggest scandal” of his life has been praised by fans and industry peers alike.
