Ranvir Shorey has addressed allegations of being abusive during his relationship with Pooja Bhatt, calling them false stories planted by her father, Mahesh Bhatt. Shorey claims that Mahesh Bhatt manipulated him by first suggesting they let the matter rest and then spreading lies in the media, painting Shorey as an abusive alcoholic. He also alleges that Pooja's brother, Rahul Bhatt, physically assaulted him. Shorey describes the breakup as one of the biggest scandals of his life and feels deeply wronged by the Bhatt family. Both Pooja Bhatt and Ranvir Shorey have since moved on, with Pooja accusing Shorey of being violent when drunk and Shorey marrying and later separating from actress Konkona Sen Sharma.
