Mahesh Bhatt faces backlash for confessing to have fed human flesh to an investor
Amidst his struggling days, on a tantrik’s advice, Mahesh Bhatt, fed a piece of human flesh to an investor in hopes of getting money from him.
The veteran filmmaker recalled his struggling days amidst a candid chat with his daughter Pooja Bhatt’s podcast and shared he followed a tantric’s advice to amp up his career. This didn’t go down well with netizens, who called him a “creep” for such an inhuman act.
What angered netizens?
In the midst of Pooja Bhatt’s podcast, Mahesh Bhatt revealed that when he was in his 20s, he and his friend Arun Desai were struggling in their careers. So, his friend Arun suggested that they should meet a potential investor in Bihar’s Gaya. But, before that, they travelled to Varanasi to meet Arun’s guru. Adding 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.
On seeing Bhatt, the tantric figured he was a non-believer, so he called the duo the next day. When the filmmaker reached the next day, the tantrik pulled out a piece and made a pudiya out of it. “He (tantrik) said this is human flesh, which has been taken out from the ghats. Take this and feed it to your potential investor, and he will give you money.
On taking that, they met a zamindar on the outskirts of Gaya. He seemed powerful, surrounded by bodyguards. However, the challenge was how to make him eat the human flesh, so they came up with a plan of disguising it as a paan. “And slowly, he brought it close to his mouth, and then, he started chewing it. They felt that have hit the bull’s eye.
However, a month later, he learnt from his friend that the investor did not give them any money.
