Why did Mahesh Bhatt become a victim of this dirty question in childhood, now he went and told you:

News India Live, Digital Desk: Bollywood Director: Are you also crazy about Mahesh Bhatt’s films and his bold style? Things related to her life are often in the discussion, but do you know there was an incident in her childhood that left a deep impression on her heart? This incident was not just a matter of sports, but it shows a picture of some deep social discrimination, which forced Mahesh Bhatt to think how different he is from others.

Mahesh Bhatt’s childhood and that scared moment!

This is about his childhood. Mahesh Bhatt himself says that he never realized that he is different from the rest. His family was a peculiar atmosphere, where there was a combination of both Hindu and Muslim cultures. His mother was a Muslim and the father was a Hindu, due to which there was an atmosphere of Ganga-Jamuni Tehzeeb in his house. But many times in childhood, children’s questions or attitude are more pointed and painful than big people.

Once, some boys surrounded Mahesh Bhatt. He suspected Mahesh whether he was ‘Parsi’ somewhere. Now you must be thinking, what is the big deal in this? It was not just about being a Parsi, but there was a kind of “identity” in the minds of children. These boys wanted to know whether Mahesh Bhatt is part of their group or not. And his way to know this was very cruel.

Those boys had asked Mahesh Bhatt to lower their pants! His intention was to check whether Mahesh Bhatt’s circumcision has been done or not. If there was circumcision, he would believe that Mahesh is not like him, perhaps ‘Parsi’ or any other community. For an innocent child, facing such questions, and demanding him to check his physical texture, it must have been so scary and embarrassing.

Mahesh Bhatt says that this incident shook him from within. Before this incident, he had never felt ‘separated’, but this incident forced him to look at his identity with a different view. This was the moment when he got the first bitter taste of the identity of society and the perception of ‘separation’. It explains how childhood experiences play a very important role in creating our thinking and personality, and how even small events leave very deep marks.

This incident shows how deep roots are there in our society regarding religion and identity and sometimes how they engage innocent childhood.
