Pooja was heard telling Cyrus and the others, “I had a drinking problem, and that's why I acknowledged my addiction and made the decision to quit.” She further said, “Society gives a license to men and thus they can openly speak about being addicted and recovering from alcoholism. However, women don't openly drink and so they don't openly recover. I used to drink openly so when I thought of recovering from alcoholism I realized that why should I recover in the closet?”
