Meera calls Bhatt her lover

Like something straight out of a ‘woman scorned' movie script; Pakistani actress Meera has accused her mentor, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt of slapping her, but also insists they are involved in romantic relationship. And Bhatt, who launched Meera in Bollywood in 2005 movie Nazar - directed by his wife Soni Razdan - has not taken the allegations lightly, hitting back with his own claims that Meera is suffering from a mental disorder. "Narcissistic Personality Disorder is the possible 'ailment' Meera could be suffering from," he Tweeted. "Such people have a larger than life personality." Bhatt's wife is standing by him and plans to take legal action against her with charges of defamation. "This is not the first time Meera has tried to malign my husband," Soni sniped. "She just can't say anything about anybody. Since she is not behaving responsibly, she needs to be taught a lesson." The one-Bollywood-film wonder, who had earlier accused Bhatt of being extremely possessive as he "did not like (her) being famous and meeting other directors", retracted all her allegations when she approached Bhatt's filmmaker-brother Mukesh for a movie part. "She denied everything… she is the kind who'd do anything for publicity," Mukesh added.
