Producer-director Vikram Bhatt mentioned an occasion when despite being in a relationship with Sushmita Sen, he was experiencing financial difficulties. "Though I used to work with big stars, I used to have no money," Bhatt said.

According to a recent interview of Vikram with Siddharth Kannan, there was once a period of his life when despite working with the biggest stars of Bollywood and being in a relationship with the beauty queen, he had financial issues.

Vikram said, "I was a struggling director. I didn't even have the money to consume poison." I was directing Aamir Khan and dating Miss Universe, but I had no money. I was absolutely penniless. I remember not even having enough money to buy a CD. I lived like a fakir.
