To Mahesh Bhatt, A Loving Birthday Note From Wife Soni Razdan

Soni Razdan dedicated a heartwarming Instagram post to Mahesh Bhatt on his 75th birthday. She shared a series of ‘then and now’ photos of the filmmaker. The pictures ranged from his youthful days holding a clapboard to a recent vacation, where he sported a T-shirt, a hat, and a heartwarming smile for the camera. In the caption, she lovingly wrote, “Happy 3/4 of a century you… Then and now.”

The comment section was flooded with well-wishes and heartfelt messages from admirers and friends alike. One user wrote, “Goodness he’s 75! Wow. How time flies. Happy Birthday and many happy returns always,” while another user wrote, “Happiest of birthdays Mr. Bhatt.”

Mahesh Bhatt’s elder daughter Pooja Bhatt also shared a set of pictures on her father’s 75th birthday. The first photo was a sweet childhood throwback, capturing a heartwarming moment of father-daughter bonding. In the second picture, they were deeply engrossed in a conversation, seemingly on a film set. The last photo is a black and white solo picture of Mahesh in a t-shirt with the words, “A real guru, if there is one, frees you from himself.”

In the caption, Pooja Bhatt wrote, “To the man who gave me roots, wings, the courage to stand on my own feet, walk alone & unabashedly be myself. “A real guru, if there is one, frees you from himself.” That was the understanding that UG Krishnamurti instilled in him and what he reinstates to me and countless others day after day. Happy 75’TH Pops! Gratitude to you and my mother for bringing me into this world. And for re-birthing me through the gift of sobriety by simply saying to me “If you love me, then love yourself.”

Recently, Soni Razdan and Mahesh Bhatt watched Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan. She praised the film and applauded Shah Rukh Khan for his ever-evolving brilliance. She wrote, “It took Shah Rukh Khan and Jawaan to get the both of us out on a movie date night after I don’t know how many years! And what a fabulous film – my mind is blown, my heart is happy. Atlee Wow Sir. Shah Rukh Khan gets more amazing with each film. Huge congratulations.”
