Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, best known for his thrillers, often made headlines in the late 90s and early 2000s for his relationships.

It was not incident-based. Sometimes you take the emotion and fictionalise it. So it was a real emotion in a fictionalised world.”

Everything that has happened is my decision. …read more
