When actress-turned-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt recently watched her performance in critically-acclaimed film "Zakhm", she immediately thanked her father Mahesh Bhatt for giving her such a special project.

"Just caught a glimpse of 'Zakhm' on TV. Thank you @MaheshNBhatt for giving me a film that will be highlighted in my obituary... And thank you Kunal Khemu... All of us actors, without exception, shone as brightly, on account of your dazzling performance!" Pooja posted on her Twitter page.

In "Zakhm", which was released in 1998, Pooja essayed the role of a Muslim mother caught in the tension between different religions in Indian society.
