Pooja Bhatt’s entry into the second season of Bigg Boss OTT has sparked a lot of interest. The actor, who has always been an inspiration as a strong-willed, independent woman, unafraid to stand by her choices in life, is now making headlines in the Bigg Boss OTT house where she revealed her vulnerable side in an episode while making revelations about her life.

Pooja, who was last seen in the web series Bombay Begums, was heard opening up in a heart-to-heart conversation with co-contestant Bebika Dhurve. Pooja spoke about her marriage (she was married to VJ-restaurateur Manish Makhija for 11 years) and why she decided to walk away. “After 11 years, we realised that it is not working out, so jhoothi zindagi kyun jiyein? Although I loved kids, I decided to not have kids at the risk of knowing that I may never find someone after this.”

Talking about how women should not live in a marriage that does not give them the happiness they deserve, Pooja said: “I didn’t want to play blame games and it was the best thing to do that we left with dignity on good terms at the right time”. The 24-hour livestream of Bigg Boss OTT is available for free on JioCinema.
