Happy Birthday Mahesh Bhatt: Bollywood celebs wish Alia Bhatt's father on social media

Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt celebrates his 67^th birthday on 20 September.

The director-producer has given several hit films, including "Saaransh", "Aashiqui", "Jism" and "Murder". He is popular for the steamy scenes in his romantic, thriller flicks.

Emraan Hashmi, the nephew of Bhatt, started his career with the Bhatt camp. Though Hashmi did his first film with Vikram Bhatt, he got recognition with his second one, "Murder", directed by Mahesh Bhatt.

Father of Alia Bhatt, Mahesh has been in news since the beginning. From the issues related to Parveen Babi to his first marriage, he grabbed eyeballs in the film industry for long.

However, people love him and his work and thus, on his birthday, several celebs wished him, including his daughter Alia.
