Sushmita Sen has always made headlines for her personal life but the actress has always mainted that she has nothing to hide and will conitnue to enjoy life on her terms. Whether it was her relationships, her choices or her adoption process, Sushmita calls spade a spade and it comes as no wonder that she has found fans in millions of girls. . IPL founder Lalit Modi recently announced his relationship with the actress. While one section is happy for the couple, the other section went on to address the star as a ‘gold digger.’
While Sushmita penned a strong-worded and witty note on the gram to shut down the trollers to say that she digs deeper than gold and she has always preferred diamonds. Now, Sushmita’s ex-boyfriend Vikram Bhatt has reacted to the same. Defending the star, Bhatt said that Sushmita never checks bank balance.
The filmmaker 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. When we reached Los Angeles and there was a limousine, and I was surprised. She said that she wanted to make my entry in the US very special.”
“Sushmita is a love digger, not a gold digger. I think making fun of other people’s life is entertainment. Someone’s tragedy is someone’s entertainment, that’s always there. When Kareena married Saif, even she was trolled. So, I think it goes with the territory, if you are a celebrity and if there is a decision of yours which seems funny to netizens, they start trolling,” Bhatt told India Today.
Sushmita is currently holidaying in the United Kingdom and is accompanied by her daughters Renee and Alisah.
