Mahesh Bhatt calls Kangana Ranaut a 'bachchi' after Rangoli attacked Alia Bhatt and family. Here's why he's rising above the controversy

It's been a while since actress Kangana Ranaut and her sister slammed Alia Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan on social media and on public platforms for various reasons including former's British citizenship, staying away from politics or her 'Gully Boy' performance. The war of words only intensified with every passing day.

On Tuesday, when the Bhatt family attended the screening of the film 'Yours Truly', filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt spoke to the media and commented on Kangana and Rangoli Chandel's attacks. He told reporters: "She is a ‘bachchi’, started her journey with us. Just because her relative is attacking me, I won’t comment. Our upbringing and culture teach us that we should not raise a finger on our children. So saying anything against our children won’t be possible. My upbringing stops me to do so. Till I die, I will never ever say anything against our child because it is against my upbringing, it is against my nature.” [sic]
