Vikram Bhatt supports Sushmita Sen, says she is the last person who checks out bank balances

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt, who was the former boyfriend of Sushmita Sen, has come out in of support her as she is being termed as a ‘gold digger’ for dating businessman Lalit Modi. On July 14, IPL founder and businessman Lalit Modi announced that he is dating former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen. As soon this announcement was made, the couple was trolled online.
Now, Vikram Bhatt in an exclusive interview with India Today, slammed the trolls and said, ‘Sushmita is the last person who checks out bank balances before she decides to fall in love with someone. I was penniless. I was directing 'Ghulam', but I had no money. I will not forget that Sushmita was the person who first took me to the US, and she paid for my trip. I had no money. ‘
Talking about Sushmita-Lalit relationship, Vikram mentioned, ‘Lalit Modi put out a post saying ‘Hey! look how happy I am!’ The poor chap did not know that he is not allowed to be happy in this world. When Sushmita just went out with Rohman Shawl, why didn’t you call her a gold digger then? I mean you can’t see that there can be love between two people regardless of money. You decide 'Oh, look at him, why should she be with him? Ah, money!' Why can’t it be that he makes her feel special?’
‘Sushmita is a love digger, not a gold digger,’ he concluded.
Earlier Sushmita and Lalit also slammed the trolls.
