Pakistani actress Meera, who is currently in the spotlight for the promotion of her upcoming film Psycho, recently took a trip down memory lane to discuss her time in India.
In a candid interview on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, the actress expressed her deep disappointment that her new project will not be releasing in Indian theaters. Amidst the promotional buzz, Meera shared intimate details about her relationship with the Bhatt family, specifically recalling her bond with a young Alia Bhatt during the early 2000s.
“She Used to Sleep with Me”: Meera on a Young Alia Bhatt
Meera, who made her Bollywood debut in the 2005 film Nazar, spoke fondly of the time she spent at Mahesh Bhatt’s residence. She revealed that Alia Bhatt, now a global superstar and recently seen making waves at the BAFTA events, was a constant companion during her stay. “When I used to be at their home, Alia would sleep with me,” Meera claimed, describing the Brahmāstra actress as an incredibly “smart and intelligent” child who excelled in her studies. Meera noted that both Mahesh and Alia would have been “very happy” to see her performance in Psycho and would have likely called her to celebrate the film.
Setting the Record Straight: The Mahesh Bhatt Allegations
The interview also addressed a long-standing controversy involving Meera and Mahesh Bhatt. Years ago, reports had circulated that Meera accused the veteran filmmaker of controlling behavior and physical abuse, even claiming he had slapped her. However, when questioned about these “harassment allegations” on Wednesday, Meera completely denied ever making such statements. “Never. Nothing like that, he’s a very good director,” she clarified, effectively retracting the narrative that had shadowed their professional relationship for over a decade.
A Busy Week in the Bhatt-Kohli Circle
Meera’s revelations come at a time when the Bhatt and Kapoor-Kohli families are dominating headlines. While Alia Bhatt continues to navigate her international career, her contemporary Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli were recently spotted seeking blessings in Vrindavan following a minor social media controversy. Meera’s comments add a layer of nostalgia to the current news cycle, reminding fans of the cross-border cinematic collaborations that once defined the industry before the current geopolitical shifts.
