Pooja Bedi Won't Discuss Aditya Pancholi Past: 'Tumultuous Space'
Pooja Bedi is a famous Indian actress.
She talked on a podcast about a relationship she had a long time ago.

Back then, Aditya was already married to someone else.
Pooja says the relationship felt very stormy and confusing.
She does not want to talk about it anymore.
She says it is not fair to Aditya's children to keep bringing it up.
Pooja says she learned from the experience and it made her stronger.
When they meet at industry events, they are polite but do not talk to each other.
Pooja Bedi described her teenage relationship with Aditya Pancholi as "a very tumultuous space" on Vicky Lalwani's podcast.
Bedi said she was barely 18 when the relationship began, after returning from the US and entering films.
