Mahesh Bhatt was born on 20 September 1948 in Mumbai.

Bollywood veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt has turned 77 today. Bhatt’s personal life, who gave hit films like Aashiqui, Summary and Road, was also always in discussion. In a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, he spoke openly on childhood difficulties, debut of career and today’s thinking.

See mother’s loneliness

Talking about childhood memories and inspiration to enter films, Mahesh Bhatt said- The biggest memory of childhood is my mother’s loneliness. When I talk about the inspiration to enter films, when a person is alone, he starts talking to himself. I also used to tell stories from my mind in loneliness. Actually art is born in loneliness.

I have been watching all kinds of cinema since childhood. At the age of 8-9, when I watched Guru Dutt Saheb’s film ‘Pyaasa’. It seemed that I know the spirit of Guru Dutt. If you saw Asif Saheb’s ‘Mughal-e-Azam’, then felt that if you have the courage and courage, you should be the same. After watching ‘Mother India’, it felt that the bigger film was not made in India. In childhood, the effect of these films dissolved in my blood, whose echo is heard in my work till date.

Mahesh Bhatt’s father Nanabhai Bhatt never stayed with him. His parents were not married. Actually, Mahesh Bhatt’s father was already married. So he never gave Mahesh Bhatt’s mother the status of wife. Because of this, Mahesh Bhatt also had to face a lot. People used to call him illegitimate children. Mahesh Bhatt had told E Times that his father had a separate family. He used to come home and never take off shoes, because he never stayed with him. But still there was a lot of love between his parents. Father used to help son Mahesh Bhatt and his mother only through financial form and other things. Mahesh Bhatt also used to earn money by doing small work during school days for living. He even made advertisements for some products.

Working till date from the age of 15 years

During a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar, Mahesh Bhatt told why his mother asked to work at the age of 15? Mahesh Bhatt says- Mother said clearly one day- Beta, you do not like eating, your sisters work and you are eating here. At that time, he left the food and left in the half pants. Mother did not stop. Arrived to a friend and said that any job should be got. This is how I have been working since the age of 15. Today I am 77 years old.

The biggest thing to start from zero

Mahesh Bhatt started his career as an assistant to Raj Khosla. Sharing the story of meeting Raj Khosla, Mahesh Bhatt told how his thinking has affected his career? Mahesh Bhatt says- was 19 years old when Raj met Khosla Saheb. There was a picture of Guru Dutt in his room. He asked me what do you know about film making? I clearly said that no. At this, he laughed and said – very good, starting from zero is the biggest thing. His talk remains in my life till date.

I don’t give anything new to anyone

Mahesh Bhatt has launched more than one talent in the industry. When Mahesh Bhatt was asked when a new artist was given a chance, how do he recognize his talent? Mahesh Bhatt said- We are like a light house. The light house shows the ships that wander in the sea. I do not go and catch anyone, but the one who sees my light comes himself. Actually, people recognize their own taste from inside me. I do not give anything new to anyone, just save the seeds within them. Like the gardener does not sow seeds, but protects it. A person is complete in itself, just needs to remind him that there is already strength in it.

Identify people and help to reach height

Talking about the most beautiful memory of his birthday and his biggest goal at the age of 77, Mahesh Bhatt says- whoever comes now will be remembered the most beautiful birthday. Now my goal is to recognize new people and help them reach their height. For example, the garden becomes beautiful only when different flowers bloom in it.
