Omer Bhatti At Neverland - By Nisha Kataria

As we all know, Michael had many children and their parents visiting at Neverland Valley ranch. Omer Bhatti and Nisha Kataria are now young adults who spent alot of time living at Neverland.

Since Michael's death, these two have been in the spotlight, talking about what it was like to be with Michael at the ranch. Nisha recently spoke with Jim Moret, who was filing in for Larry King. She discussed Omer, the 26 year old Norwegian boy who Michael's father, Mr. Joseph Jackson, recently claimed is Michael's biologica son.

During the interview, Nisha, who lived at Neverland for a little over two months, was aked about recording with Michael. She said that they recorded a song that Michael had written. The song is unreleased but Nisha and her manager hope to put the song on her new album, in tribute to Michael.

Moret then asked Nisha what her reactions were to the claims that Omer was Michael's son.

Nisha Kataria responded by saying, “I mean, I -- he -- I saw him in the ranch. He lived there when I lived there. And I actually -- the first time I actually really got to meet him was when -- the second time I sang for Michael. I sang, "Because You Loved Me" with my C.D. and Michael and his nephew Eli and Omer and Prince, they all came in and sat down. And Michael was like telling them, OK, listen. You have to hear her sing.

And this was before I moved in. So I remember they were looking at each other and smiling as I was singing. And he was always smiling. A friendly boy.”

So, Nisha didn’t verify or deny the allegations that Omer Bhatti is Michael's son. Moret asked her if she ever witnessed Michael interacting with his children, Paris, Prince, and Blanket Jackson.

Nisha Kataria replied, “I did. You would think that these kids, you know, they -- they could have anything they ever wanted because Michael Jackson was their father. And there was one time when me and my mom and Michael and Prince were all in the movie theater. And there's a concession stand with all the candy and popcorn and ice cream you could ever ask for. And one day we were all in the theater and my mom offered Prince a candy bar. And Michael told her politely, he said, oh, can't have anymore today. He all -- you know, he already had some.

So you could tell that they were disciplined kids and they were really close to their father -- really polite, friendly kids.”

She continued, “They're adorable kids. There was one incident when Grace was driving us from the movie theater back to the main house, because it's kind of -- a little bit far. And I was sitting in the front passenger seat and Paris and my mom were sitting in the back of the Lincoln Navigator. And Paris kept tapping on my shoulder and then hiding. And then I would look back at her and she was smiling and all embarrassed. And then I would, you know, sit normal again and she would tap me on the shoulder again. So she played like peek a boo games. She was just a cute, normal little kid.”

Moret then commented, “So many people have these misconceptions that Michael and his children had an odd relationship. Would you describe it as a typical father, child relationship with each of his kids?”
Nisha responded by saying, “Absolutely. They were happy kids.”
