Pooja had also responded to a tweet that she had joined the politician for the walk for just a ‘brief’ while. A tweet by news agency ANI had read, “Actress-filmmaker Pooja Bhatt briefly joins the Congress party’s Bharat Jodo Yatra. The Yatra resumed from Hyderabad city in Telangana this morning.” She had quote-tweeted the agency and written, “Yes a ‘brief’ 10.5 km walk to be precise… Bharat Joda Yatra.”

The Bharat Jodo Yatra commenced on September 7 from Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu. Rahul Gandhi has completed the marathon walk in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh, among other states.
