In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Ranvir mentioned after his major fight and breakup with Pooja, Mahesh Bhatt suggested to Ranvir's father that they should collectively put the matter to rest. He said, "Next day, he proceeded to print utter lies about me, planted false stories in the media against me, painting me as an alcoholic abusive person. All lies!"
He added, "Her brother was the one who assaulted me. He could have told these guys not to talk like that...In that sense, I felt he was manipulative towards me. "These are all 25 years old stories, I don’t want to get into them now."
Earlier, Ranvir Shorey talked about his past relationship with Pooja Bhatt. While speaking about his breakup, he mentioned that it was a tough time for him and described their breakup as the 'biggest scandal of his life.'

He said, "After returning from the US, I started shooting for The Great Indian Comedy Show in 2005”. At that time, two of my long-shelved films were greenlit for release and hit theaters back-to-back within a week and my work was loved by audiences. After those films, I finally felt my life was steady as an actor and that I had arrived."
