Actor-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt will co-author a book about her battle with alcohol. It will come out early next year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI would like to emphasise that it is not an autobiography. At 45, I am too young to write my memoirs. As they say in filmi terms, \u2018Picture abhi baaki hai, dost\u2019. But I can help others like me deal with their problem by talking about my journey,\u201d Pooja said in a statement. It has been 10 months since she has left liquor.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been easy but it hasn\u2019t been too difficult either. A series of chapters in a book called life. It wasn\u2019t planned, but we have announced the book on Bhai Dooj, when traditionally Indians have just ushered in a new year. As the Diwali lights continue to sparkle around us, please support me on this journey the way you always have through all my films,\u201d added the daughter of veteran filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.<\/p>\n
Pooja found fame with roles in \u2018Daddy\u2019, \u2018Dil Hai Ke Manta Nahin\u2019, \u2018Sadak\u2019 and \u2018Zakhm\u2019. As a director, she has helmed \u2018Paap\u2019, \u2018Kajraare\u2019 and \u2018Jism 2\u2019 among others.<\/p>\n
It was in March this year that Pooja spoke to journalist Roshmila Bhattacharya on her battle with the bottle saying, \u201cIf I didn\u2019t quit now, I\u2019d have drank myself to the grave.\u201d Her book will be co-authored with Roshmila Bhattacharya, and will be published by Penguin India.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
