Rahul blasts his father

The only son of Mahesh, Rahul had once given an interview in which he had said that his father has always been indifferent to him. He said that he felt like a b*****d. Mahesh, he said, always well-treated his daughters and considered them his own, unlike Rahul.

Rahul does not hold a good opinion of his father. He has always been frank about his bitter relations with Mahesh. Rahul had said:

“My father Mahesh Bhatt never treated me like his own child. It’s the raw uncut truth about my relationship with my father. Perhaps if Mr Mahesh Bhatt had been a father to me I wouldn’t have got into the friendship with Headley,”

Rahul and David Headley

In 2009, Rahul’s name surfaced when his name was linked with the captured terrorist David Headley. At that time, Rahul had admitted:

“My childhood insecurities, the lack of a father-figure in my growing years were lacunas in my life that Mr Headley used to win over my confidence. I was vulnerable. I had no father to guide me in my growing years,”

“And I maintain my father was always been indifferent to me. He has always treated me like a [expletive]. I felt like Andy Garcia in The Godfather 3,”

He added:

“I think I am ‘better’ person because of Mr Bhatt’s treatment. I believe what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

Rahul stated that it was his feelings of anger and resentment towards his father that brought him closer to David. But he was happy that he luckily could save himself before things went too far.

There was no real damage from David on Rahul or his career. Rahul now works as a fitness trainer. He had also participated in Big Boss 13.
