I can die in peace after watching Pooja Bhatt shine bright in the Bigg Boss OTT house: Mahesh gets emotional

After witnessing Pooja Bhatt's remarkable journey in the Bigg Boss OTT house, her shining presence and genuine efforts have left Mahesh Bhatt deeply content, and he feels that he can now rest assured, knowing that she is doing exceptionally well.

Mahesh Bhatt shared a valuable metaphor with Pooja, saying, "If you have a pin, you don't need to use an axe." This metaphor signifies the power of choosing the right words and approaches to communicate effectively without causing unnecessary harm. He emphasized that he didn't want to give Pooja direct advice because he believed she already understood the essence of his message.

Moreover, Mahesh Bhatt offered essential guidance to Pooja regarding honesty and timing. He advised her that speaking the truth with the intention of hurting someone is worse than telling a lie. His wise counsel urged her to use her voice wisely and pick the appropriate moments to express her thoughts and feelings.

However, netizens weren't happy seeing Mahesh Bhatt touching female contestants inside the house. A section of netizens appreciated Mahesh Bhatt's wise words and interactive sessions with housemates, while few slammed him. For instance, touching Manisha, holding her house as well as hugging Jiya.
