Director Vikram Bhatt, who was recently granted regular bail in February, has now taken to social media to share his opinion on rumours about Vijay and Trisha`s alleged affair. Vikram was in prison in connection with an alleged multi-crore cheating case involving his wife, Shwetambari Soni.

He penned a long note on his Instagram handle supporting Vijay and Trisha, saying he is unaware whether the rumours are true or not. However, he admitted he has been on both sides of such situations, having been somebody’s fool and also having fooled someone. Vikram added that the human heart is fallible and goes where it finds happiness.

His note read, “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 went on to add, “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 is it to hunt for a tube of toothpaste? What it is to wait for seven in the evening, when the bail applications come in. But there is a worse incarceration. It is the incarceration of the human soul. The incarceration of happiness. When two people remain trapped in a relationship that has run its course, but society insists that the relationship must continue; that too is a prison.”

The Raaz director continued, “I have been on both sides of that equation. I have been somebody’s fool, and I have been fooled. In other words, I have been there. Done that. Got the T-shirt. The human heart is fallible. It goes where it finds happiness. It came together to find happiness and its going away to find happiness. Speaking for myself, I would walk out of a loveless relationship. I might walk out with money. I might walk out with property. But most importantly, I would walk out with my honour and my dignity.”

Talking of Vijay and Trisha, he added, “I find something admirable in Vijay and Trisha. There is dignity in not pretending that something does not exist. There is dignity in not hiding love as though it were something sinful. We all know the other kind of life that people live. Men who run anonymous profiles on dating sites. Men who delete their messages before they get home. Men who spend afternoons with women they will never respect enough to acknowledge publicly. And yet it is often these very people who sit in judgment over others.”

“Individually, most of us are compassionate people. We understand weakness. We understand heartbreak. We understand the complicated nature of love. But something changes when we become a collective. In a crowd, we suddenly become sinless. We become righteous. We become judges. And that is when empathy disappears,” he wrote.

Finally, he concluded his note with a strong message that read, “Their films belong to us. Their personal lives do not. I will always stand for the freedom of the human heart. They have a right to live and to love.”
