More than a week before Bigg Boss OTT 2 headed for its finale day, a clip from the house surfaced online and netizens alleged that contestants were using mobile phones inside the house. 

Now for the first time, Pooja Bhatt has reacted to the same and said it was social media detox for her. Reacting to the same, Pooja Bhatt told News18, “There is no chance anyone can have a mobile phone inside the Bigg Boss house. There are more than 200 cameras prying on you, there is no way you can hide anything. I have just come outside and still haven’t switched on my phone. One thing that I got inside the house was a detox from social media. I realised we don’t need it in our daily life.”

Meanwhile in the same interview, she also reacted to Mahesh Bhatt being trolled for allegedly making Manisha Rani uncomfortable during his appearance in the family week.

She told the portal,“I have realised that people want to see the world in their respective way. If people found Mahesh Bhatt’s behaviour inside the Bigg Boss house inappropriate, then I feel their minds are inappropriate. I don’t think I have the bandwidth to go and explain to everyone. I feel the contestants, especially Manisha Rani requested to spend time with him. I was the last person he came to meet and I could hardly spend time with him.”
