Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt recently shared candid details about the financial difficulties he encountered during the early stages of his career.

He recalled a time when he lacked the funds to purchase a simple music CD, describing his financial state as that of a 'fakira'.
Bhatt's revelations shed light on his past relationship with former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. They grew close while collaborating on the 1996 psychological thriller 'Dastak,' which marked Sen's debut. Bhatt indicated that his financial situation was so dire that he often relied on others, similar to observations made by businessman Lalit Modi regarding Sen's financial contributions during their outings.
Following his relationship with Sushmita Sen, Bhatt later dated actress Ameesha Patel between 2002 and 2007. He noted that while his personal relationships did not endure, his films have maintained a lasting presence in cinema. Recently, Bhatt and his wife, Shwetambari Soni, were involved in a legal dispute concerning allegations of cheating, from which they were later granted bail by the Supreme Court.
