It was a time when Vikram and Sushmita were dating and said to be madly in love, but then Vikram Bhatt already had a married status with then wife Aditi and also had a daughter with her.
He regretted to have cheated on wife and having extramarital affair, he went ahead candidly saying in an interview of his suicidal attempts when things were going rough.
Although he said those suicidal thoughts were not because of Sushmita Sen; “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,” he said.
Being asked about his illegal affair with Ms Sen, he said “I regret hurting my wife and my child and abandoning them. I regret the pain I caused them. I always believe that when you’re not courageous, you become cunning. I did not have the courage to tell Aditi how I felt. And it was all happening together, it was a big mess,”.
Apparently decades back when Vikram and Sushmita made an appearance together on a popular talk show of Simi Garewal, on being asked about the relationship with then still married man, Sushmita had replied with modesty “The wife and him were not living together, and I cannot go around feeling guilty or make a person feel guilty if he had a bad marriage.”
She added, “I don’t fell guilty because I have done something very openly with a very open conscience. I know that the man was in a divorce when I met him, and I wasn’t going to wait to tell the world that I loved him just because he hadn’t gone through with his divorce yet.”
