Veteran filmmaker-producer Mahesh Bhatt is known for speaking candidly and being honest about his life. However, his recent confession has left many stunned. During a recent chat with daughter Pooja Bhatt on her Podcast, Mahesh recalled following a tantrik’s advice and serving human flesh to an investor.
He went on to share that in his twenties, he and his friend Arun Desai, were struggling to find work in their careers. So, his friend Arun suggested that they should meet a potential investor in Bihar’s Gaya. However, before that, they travelled to Varanasi to meet Arun’s guru. “There was a queue of very poor people waiting to have an audience with that guruji. He was a tantrik, a young man who held a bottle of rum in his hand and would keep on dancing,” Bhatt recalled.
Mahesh Bhatt says he fed ‘human flesh’ to an investor
The tantric figured that Bhatt was a non-believer so he called the duo the next day. When they arrived, the tantrik, “pulled out a piece and he made a pudiya out of it, and he said this is human flesh, which has been taken out from the ghats. He said, ‘Take this and feed it to your potential investor, and he will give you money.”
On taking that, the duo reached Gaya and met a zamindar. Bhatt recalled, “Somewhere in the outskirts of Gaya, there was this zamindar, who used to sit behind this mosquito net and had security men holding guns. Then it struck us, to buy a paan and put this on a paan and give it to him. Slowly, he brought it close to his mouth and then, he started chewing it. We felt that we have hit the bull’s eye.” But the plan reportedly failed as he learnt from Arun that the investor did not give them any money.
Netizens slam Mahesh Bhatt for his shocking statement
Mahesh Bhatt’s bizarre confession has shocked many on social media. One user wrote, “WHAT? He realises he will get investigated for this statement right?
