Actor Sushmita Sen took everyone by surprise when she announced her relationship with IPL owner Lalit Modi. Since then, the internet had a meltdown and a plethora of memes started circulating on social media. that’s not it, people even started bashing Sushmita and called her a gold digger. Now reacting to the naysayers’ judgement, Sushmita Sen’s ex-boyfriend and filmmaker Vikram Bhatt mentioned that she is not a gold digger but a love digger.
Speaking with India Today about Sushmita being called a gold digger, Vikram said, “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 [Kapoor] married Saif [Ali Khan], 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.”
The filmmaker added that based on his experience, he recalled that time when the Main Hoon Na actor took Vikram on a trip even when he was penniless.

“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 into the US very special,” the director of 1920 added.
