Mahesh Bhatt 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
During his school days, he used to do summer jobs and also made product advertisements. Mahesh’s mother, Shirin Mohammad Ali and his father, Nanabhai Bhatt never got married. Once Mahesh asked his mother about the meaning of his name. She said that she would ask his father, as he was the one who gave him the name. His father came to him the next day, and told him that his name meant ‘God of Gods.’ Mahesh in an Interview revealed that as a child he didn’t like his name as it was the name of the god, who beheaded his own son. During his childhood days, ‘Ganesha’ was his favourite deity and he also wanted his name to be ‘Ganesha.’ He even used to sleep with a little Ganesha under his pillow. Mahesh Bhatt met Lorraine Bright (Kiran Bhatt) during his school days. They both fell in love and got married when he was 20 years old. The couple separated after Mahesh Bhatt started dating Parveen Babi. Mahesh Bhatt left his family and went into a live-in relationship with Praveen. Praveen was reportedly diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia (auditory hallucinations and paranoid delusions; believing everybody was out to cause you harm). She even went on to accuse several personalities such as Amitabh Bachchan & Bill Clinton of conspiring to kill her. In an interview with the Filmfare Magazine, Mahesh said that he left Praveen because he could not handle her condition. Describing her condition, he said- Sometimes she’d say the air conditioner had a bug. We had to dismantle it and show it to her. At other times there was ‘a bug’ in the fan or in the perfume.” He converted Islam to be married to both of his wives. He didn’t want to abandon his first wife and children from her, and Islam was the only religion that allowed him to be with both of his wives. Emraan Hashmi‘s grandmother and Milan Luthria’s grandmother are the sisters of Mahesh’s mother. Mahesh Bhatt’s directed film “Saaransh” (1984) was India’s official submission for the Oscar’s Best foreign language film in 1985. The story of the film “Aashiqui” (1990) was inspired by Mahesh Bhatt and Kiran Bhatt’s (born Lorraine Bright) love story. The story of the films “Woh Lamhe (2006)” and “Arth (1982)” was inspired by Parveen Babi’s life and her relationship with Mahesh Bhatt. Talking about Parveen Babi, Mahesh Bhatt says, “I owe everything that I am today to my brief association with this magnificent woman.” In an interview, he revealed that his films have been a failure until he made “Arth (1982)” based on his relationship with Praveen. The film brought him a huge success. He has notably launched careers of many actors such as Anupam Kher, Rahul Roy, Anu Aggarwal, Deepak Tijori, Sonali Bendre, Dino Morea, Bipasha Basu, Emraan Hashmi, Mallika Sherawat, Sushmita Sen, and Kangana Ranaut. Mahesh follows a philosopher named U. G. Krishnamurti. He even wrote two biographies on his life, “U.G. Krishnamurti, a Life” in 1992 and “A Taste of Life: The Last Days of U.G. Krishnamurti” in 2009. He was at his bedside when Krishnamurti died in Vellacrosia in Italy and later, had him cremated. He believes that the Congress Party is committed to secularism and Narendra Modi is communal. In the 2014 Lok Sabha Elections, he campaigned in Karvan-e-Bedari (caravan of awareness) asking people to vote for Congress and defeat Modi. He even criticizes the communal record of Congress and Rajiv Gandhi in 1984 Sikh Genocide. “A Mouthful of Sky” (1995), which was directed by Mahesh Bhatt was the first TV series in the English Language to be produced in India. He is the advisory member of TeachAIDS, a U.S. based non-profit organisation that fights against AIDS through the development of HIV prevention technology products. He is known to have copied scenes from Hollywood movies, and sometimes, he has even copied the whole Hollywood film without acknowledging the makers. For example- he copied “The Fugitive” (1993) and remade it in Hindi as “Criminal” (1995). He has hosted some episodes of the two science magazine programme, which are “Turning Point (1991)” and “Imaging Science.” He is the member of Board of Patrons of Mother Teresa Awards, given to individuals or organisations that promote peace, equality, and social justice.
