Director Vikram Bhatt reacted to affair rumours about actors Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan, saying he does not know if they are true but believes people have the right to love freely. "There is dignity in not hiding love as though it were something sinful," he wrote on Monday in a note supporting them on his social media.

Director Vikram Bhatt, who was recently granted regular bail on February 19, 2026, in connection with an alleged multi-crore cheating case involving his wife, Shwetambari Soni, shared his opinion on rumours about Thalapathy Vijay and Trisha Krishnan's alleged affair. He said he is unaware whether the rumours are true or not, but admitted he has been on both sides of such situations, having been somebody’s fool and also having fooled someone, adding that the human heart is fallible and goes where it finds happiness.

Taking to his Instagram handle, Vikram shared a long note, supporting Vijay and Trisha, he wrote on Monday, March 9, "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."

He added that there are men who run anonymous profiles on dating sites and delete their messages before they get home, men who spend afternoons with women they will never respect enough to acknowledge publicly. Yet, it is often these very people who sit in judgment over others, he added. Their films belong to us.
