Rahul Bhatt says he felt abandoned by his father, filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, describing the impact of their strained relationship. In interviews and related reporting, Rahul characterizes the period as one where he believed his father did not fulfill responsibilities.

The sources indicate that the father and son have since tried to repair their relationship. While they have reconnected after years of distance, their relationship is described as remaining complicated rather than fully resolved. NDTV frames the comments as part of Rahul’s broader explanation of how earlier family dynamics affected him, while also noting later efforts to bridge the gap.

Across the coverage provided, the central points remain consistent: Rahul discusses feelings of abandonment linked to perceived unmet responsibilities, and both sides have made attempts to reconnect even as the relationship continues to be nuanced.
