Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt is in the news these days for his statement. In a recent interview, he made many revelations about his personal life, difficult times and love life. He also told that when he was dating Miss Universe Sushmita Sen, his condition was very bad and he did not even have money for himself.
Such were the early days of my career
In this interview, Vikram Bhatt remembered the time of 1990, when he was working as an assistant with Mahesh Bhatt and was making his mark. Meanwhile, he met Sushmita Sen on the sets of ‘Dastak’ (1996). This was Sushmita’s first love and their relationship was just beginning. However, his financial condition was not good and he did not have money even for daily needs.
I was completely poor…
In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Vikram said, ‘I was a struggling director at that time. I didn’t even have money to consume poison. I was directing Aamir Khan and dating Miss Universe, but I had no money. I was completely penniless. I remember I didn’t even have money to buy a CD. I have lived life like a fakir.
Relationship with Ameesha Patel also
Let us tell you that the relationship between Sushmita Sen and Vikram Bhatt did not last long and they separated. After this, Vikram also dated Ameesha Patel from the film ‘Aap Mujhe Achhe Lagne Lage’, although this relationship also lasted from 2002 to 2007.
