1. Lorraine Bright or Kiran Bhatt:


Mahesh Bhatt met Lorraine Bright, a Catholic girl, during his school days and fell for her. They got married at the age of 20, after which Lauren changed her name to Kiran Bhatt. It is believed that the story of Mahesh's biggest hit "Aashiqui" is based on the story of his life with her wife. After some time, Mahesh and Kiran were blessed with a baby-girl, Pooja Bhatt.

After a few years of being 'happily married', Mahesh met the famous actress Parveen Babi, soon after that his relationship started getting sour with Kiran. Mahesh confirmed this in an interview, where he said, "I got married to Kiran, we had children and it was my responsibility to take care of them. But now I am getting attracted to another woman." Mahesh is close to his children with Lorraine. He doesn't live with her but they never got divorced.

2. Parveen Babi:


It is said that the Bollywood actress Parveen Babi had made the biggest mistake of her life by taking her relationship with Mahesh Bhatt to the next level. When the actress came in contact with Mahesh, she was at the peak of her career, but the two-and-a-half-year of live-in' relationship destroyed her career and life. Her depression was so deep, that to avoid all her failures she started engaging in drugs and alcohol and her tragic death is the saddest part.

3. Soni Razdan:


Soni Razdan made her Bollywood debut in 1981 and had already worked in 3 films, before meeting Mahesh Bhatt. As per the rumours of that era, Mahesh felt relaxed to meet Soni. Since the wounds of Mahesh's old relationship were still fresh, both of them got married but decided to keep their relationship hidden from the world. They are blessed with two daughters 'Shaheen Bhatt' and 'Alia Bhatt'.

4. Pooja Bhatt:


People started raising questions on Mahesh Bhatt's character, when he was seen kissing his daughter Pooja Bhatt on the lips, in a picture for the cover page of a magazine. When people objected to this behaviour, Mahesh arrogantly replied, "If Pooja was not my daughter, I would have married her".

5. Jiah Khan:


Mahesh Bhatt's name was also associated several times with the film actress Jia Khan. Although Mahesh has described this relationship as a father-daughter relationship, the viral videos of these two seem to speak something else.

6. Rhea Chakraborty:


Late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty is also no less. You must have seen many of her pictures, videos and WhatsApp chat screenshots with Mahesh Bhatt on social media. The relationship between these two is also mired in controversies as netizens make them stand in the dock of questions.
