Filmmaker Defends Stars Amid Divorce Scandal

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt recently defended actors Vijay and Trisha Krishnan, advocating for privacy in their personal lives amid ongoing divorce proceedings. Bhatt, who was recently released on bail in a fraud case, shared that his time in jail prompted deep reflection on life and freedom.

He emphasized that public scrutiny of actors should cease once their work is done, stating, "Their films belong to us. Their personal lives do not." Bhatt drew parallels between difficult relationships and imprisonment, describing being trapped in a soured relationship due to societal expectations as a form of "incarceration of the human soul."

Bhatt criticized societal hypocrisy, noting that those who judge others often lead hidden double lives. He asserted that empathy diminishes in crowds and concluded by championing the freedom of the human heart to love and live authentically.

This statement follows Vijay's appearance at a wedding reception with Trisha, occurring after his wife filed for divorce in December 2025, citing infidelity and mental cruelty. Vijay has not directly addressed the divorce but urged his supporters not to worry about his personal issues.
