I am the bastard child of a single Muslim mother: Mahesh Bhatt
In an interview to Hindustan Times, director Mahesh Bhatt has said, "I am the bastard-child of a single Muslim mother, of Shirin Mohammed Ali." He added, "I never really had a father...therefore I have no idea of what a fatherâs role should be." Bhatt was born to Gujarati film actress Shirin and film producer Nanabhai Bhatt out of wedlock.
