In an interview with content creator, Kusha Kapila on the show, Tinder India's Swipe Ride, Pooja Bhatt opened up about how her type in men evolved over the years. The actor-director shared that she would be attracted to the 'one rat' instead of dating 'functional human beings' in her 20s. Adding that she wanted to fix that one person, Pooja said:
"My type has evolved, I would like to use the word evolve as opposed to changed and not aged. But I don't really have a type. But when I was younger in my 20s, no regrets, no regrets ever for a full life. I had this capacity to be able to walk into a room with hundred men for example. There would be 99 perfectly functional human beings and there would be one rat hiding under the table. My zoning device would take me straight to that and say, 'Hey baby, let me try and fix you'."
However, Pooja shared that instead of trying to fix someone else, we need to fix ourselves first. Talking about her singlehood phase, she said that she feels blessed, but at the same time, she added that she doesn't have her shutters down. She also mentioned the only quality that she is looking for in a partner, and said:
"But don't forget that actually, you don't need to, you need to fix yourself. The answer doesn't lie there, you know? So now for me, first of all, it's an exciting phase in my life, I'm single enjoying single blessedness and I'm not looking. But at the same time, I don't have the shutters down. I think love is life and life is love. What is the point of existing if it weren't for that? But I think the only six-pack I'm interested in lies between a man's two ears."
