Vikram Bhatt opens up about his controversial affairs, and talks about new book

Vikram Bhatt’s new book A Handful of Sunshine, It revolves around Veer and Mira, who are madly in love with each other, but are separated by a tragedy. When they meet years later, they decide to dump their respective lover/spouse and make a bid for happiness.

In an interview with HT Brunch regarding his new book, Vikram Bhatt talked about his  two very public relationships with Sushmita Sen and Ameesha Patel in the past.

The affair with Sushmita led to the break-up of his marriage with childhood sweetheart Aditi.

He said he even considered jumping off of the 6th floor of a building because of the affair. He said “That was not because of Sushmita. That was because of what I’d done to my life. I had gotten divorced, my film Ghulam was yet to be released, I was only Sushmita Sen’s boyfriend, I was depressed, I missed my daughter like crazy…I had just made a mess of my life. I don’t think any one relationship in my life has wrecked me. I think I am a collection of wrecks.”

Bhatt, however, does talk about his regret of cheating on his wife, Aditi, and abandoning her and his daughter. “I regret the pain I caused them. When I look back in hindsight, it’s all about growing up, and everything teaches you something at least.” Bhatt has now made amends with his wife and works with his daughter in his production house.

Other than writing, Bhatt released a web series on BDSM titled Maaya.
