‘मैं वहां लगभग मर ही गया था’: जेल में रहे विक्रम भट्ट ने सुनाई आपबीती, बोले-मुझे नहीं पता कि वहां की राजनीति क्या थी

Vikram Bhatt and his wife were arrested by Rajasthan Police from Mumbai on 7 December 2025.

Filmmaker Vikram Bhatt recently shared his experience of the 70 days he spent in Udaipur jail on alleged fraud charges.

Vikram Bhatt and his wife Shwetambari were accused of alleged fraud of Rs 30 crore, after which they were arrested.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bhatt said that his time in jail was very difficult, but there he got more support than expected from his fellow prisoners.

He told that he lived in a barrack with 60 to 80 prisoners. According to him, fellow prisoners took special care of him, bringing him food and taking care of his clothes.

Bhatt said that the prisoners used to call him ‘Bhishma Pitamah’ and demanded him to tell scary stories at night.

Vikram Bhatt has made many films like Raaz, 1920, Haunted 3D, Raaz 3.

Bhatt had jaundice in jail

Bhatt told that his health deteriorated further during jail and he developed jaundice. He said, “I almost died there. Now I don’t know what the politics were there, because people were nice to me, but I suffer from an autoimmune disease, ankylosing spondylitis. It causes pain in my joints and muscles.”

The filmmaker further said that it was the month of December-January and it was very cold. I started having pain in my hip bone on the side on which I slept. If I turned to the other side, pain would start there. During this time I also developed jaundice.

Vikram claimed delay in taking him to hospital

Bhatt claimed that despite high fever and weakness, there was a delay in taking him to the hospital. He said that fellow prisoners in the barracks used to help him by covering him with their blankets, while he continuously demanded to be sent to the hospital.

After his release, he received calls from some people in the film industry. Bhatt told that Mithun Chakraborty and Sanjay Dutt asked about his well being. He said that Sanjay Dutt’s call was special for him because they had never worked together.

When he was asked whether Akshay Kumar also contacted him, he said that Akshay is not his friend, so such a thing was not expected.

Bhatt also mentioned his childhood friend Ajay Devgan. He said that it was natural for Ajay to call because their relationship is years old. According to Bhatt, the nature of every relationship is different and it is not fair to have the same expectations from everyone.
