Standing up for Miley

Actor-director Pooja Bhatt has stood up for international pop star Miley Cyrus’ performance with singer Robin Thicke at a recent music awards ceremony, for which she has been criticised. Miley performed with Thicke to his track ‘Blurred Lines’ and was seen twerking and flirting with the singer on stage.

Pooja, 41, took to a micro-blogging to speak in favour of the singer. “Bash Miley Cyrus yet say nothing about Robin Thicke and his obnoxious lyrics. How can the world be different from our own backyards,” she tweets. “So she twerked, stuck out her tongue, pissed the world off. Cannot take away from the fact that the girl can sing and ‘We can’t stop’ rocks!”
