What Vikram Bhatt posted about Vijay-Trisha amid wedding outing, divorce case

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt defended Vijay and Trisha after the two were spotted together at a wedding amid the actor-politician's divorce battle. In a long Instagram note, Bhatt said people should stop judging actors' personal lives.

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt on Monday shared a note on social media defending Vijay and Trisha after the two were recently spotted attending a wedding reception together amid the actor-politician's ongoing divorce battle.

In a long Instagram post, Bhatt urged people not to judge actors for their personal choices, arguing that public scrutiny should end with their work. "Their films belong to us. Their personal lives do not," he wrote in the caption of his post.

Bhatt, who was recently released on bail in a Rs 30 crore fraud case, said his time in jail had forced him to reflect on life and relationships. "My recent incarceration has made me understand the value of freedom. What it is to crave a cup of tea that is not going to come. What it is to hunt for a tube of toothpaste. What it is to wait for seven in the evening, when the bail applications come in," he wrote.

Referring to the chatter around Vijay and Trisha's personal lives, the director said he was not aware whether the rumours circulating online were true, but felt compelled to share his thoughts nonetheless. "There has been a great deal of noise about the personal lives of Vijay and Trisha Krishnan. I do not know whether the rumours online are true or not. But if they are, then I feel compelled to say a few things," he wrote.

The director, best known for films like Raaz Reboot, wrote that while prison is difficult, there is an even worse kind of confinement -- what he called the "incarceration of the human soul." According to him, when two people remain trapped in a relationship that has run its course simply because society expects them to stay together, "that too is a prison."

Bhatt added he had "been on both sides" of such relationships. "I have been somebody's fool, and I have been fooled. He talked about love and called human heart "fallible. "It goes where it finds happiness. It came together to find happiness, and it's going away to find happiness," he wrote.
