Filmmaker and actor Arbaaz Khan hosted Filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt on a new episode of The Invincibles. Arbaaz recalled about the incident when him and elder brother Salman Khan had to drop him home. Arbaaz told him, “You were so drunk but dad said he has to go home. We tried to take you home in a cab. You forgot where you lived.” Arbaaz continued, “We were embarrassed but also giggling. You’ve made a 360 transition post that,”

Mahesh Bhatt revealed, “One day, I woke up and I found myself sleeping on the footpath of JVPD scheme. I remember my face was on the concrete and dawn was just breaking. I realised I had gone for some party and I had fallen down on the road and slept there. I remember walking up to my house, I was living with Soni. She said. ‘What happened to you?’ I said, ‘I don’t know, I’ve become an alcoholic’.’ And then a miracle happened. My first baby was born with Soni, Shaheen. When I came to the hospital, I was holding Shaheen in my arms and I went to kiss her, I got this feeling as if she moved away. She couldn’t bear the fumes of alcohol. She couldn’t have done, she was a baby, but this is what I hallucinated and projected. That did it.
