Pooja Bhatt calls her divorce with Manish Makhija the 'lowest phase' of her life; says 'I drilled myself more into the bad zone'

Pooja Bhatt recently opened up about her divorce from Manish Makhija and how that led to her alcoholism. The actress-turned-filmmaker, who is currently in 'Bigg Boss OTT 2', said that her divorce was the lowest phase of her life. While talking to co-contestant Jiya Shankar on the reality show, Mahesh Bhatt's daughter said, 'Frankly if you ask me Jiya, the lowest point of my life was when I divorced my husband of 11 years. It was totally my decision. I couldn’t lie to myself as I didn’t feel like continuing it.' She added, 'I wanted to live my life with comfort or keep my 10 to 11-year--old relationship, and my husband was not a bad person. I thought that I had lost myself and it was not for somebody else or the betterment of life.' She also addressed how it wasn’t easy to let go of an 11-year relationship and said that it was sudden and felt like death. 'I thought that I wanted to set myself free and find myself, but I drilled myself more into a bad zone', said Pooja. She married Manish Makhija in 2003 but parted ways in 2014.
