Vikram Bhatt celebrates becoming a grandfather as his daughter Krishna welcomes a baby boy, amid ongoing challenges in her career and personal life.
GlipzoBollywood director Vikram Bhatt recently shared his joy as his daughter Krishna Bhatt welcomed a baby boy on May 11, 2026. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Hungama, Bhatt reflected on the thrilling experience of becoming a grandfather, expressing both humor and exhaustion as he navigates this new chapter in his life. "Yes, I am a nana now. Ab main dadagiri kar sakta hoon!" he quipped, revealing his excitement amidst the whirlwind of emotions and activities surrounding the birth.
In his heartfelt conversation, Bhatt revealed that both Krishna and her newborn son are doing well. He shared insights into her dedication and tenacity, stating, "She insisted on working on Haunted – Echoes Of The Past even while going into the OT (Operation Theatre). I call her ‘QC’ (Quality Check)! She always insists, ‘I want to see all the shots. Don’t okay anything without QC.’"
Krishna, who married businessman Vedant Sarda on June 11, 2023, has faced challenges during her pregnancy, including being mentioned in a police FIR. Fortunately, she was not included in the chargesheet, but the stress of these events made her pregnancy particularly difficult. In light of this, Vikram Bhatt expressed his relief and triumph over adversity, stating, "To all the people who wished her ill, I want to tell them – you all failed."
When asked about the significance of becoming a grandfather, Bhatt responded with a smile, "I hope it starts a new chapter in the parents’ lives. We have already lived most of our lives." This sentiment reflects not only his joy but also a sense of continuity and legacy within his family, as Krishna embarks on her journey into motherhood.
As a filmmaker known for his contributions to the horror genre, Bhatt is currently gearing up for the release of Haunted – Echoes Of The Past, scheduled for June 12. However, recent legal hurdles have added a layer of complexity to the film’s promotion. A public notice was issued cautioning the film industry against any commercial exploitation of the movie amid ongoing legal scrutiny by the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).
Despite the challenges surrounding the film’s release, Vikram remains optimistic. He dismissed the notice as baseless, stating, "The lawyer is making a statement on it. All I can say is that it’s baseless." This confidence reflects his longstanding resilience in the industry, even as he navigates the dual pressures of personal and professional life.
In a positive turn, Bhatt hinted at upcoming good news regarding the film, saying, "A song is coming out on May 13. It's going to be good news from my end now. Enough of the bad!" This statement underscores his commitment to moving forward and maintaining a positive outlook despite recent setbacks.
The arrival of Bhatt’s grandson not only marks a significant personal milestone for the family but also symbolizes the continuation of a legacy in Bollywood. Vikram Bhatt has made a name for himself through his innovative storytelling and contributions to Indian cinema, particularly in the horror genre. As Krishna takes on the role of a mother, it brings about the potential for a new generation of talent in the industry, possibly following in her father's footsteps.
Additionally, this moment highlights the balance many in the film industry attempt to strike between personal lives and professional commitments. Krishna’s determination to work on her project while preparing for motherhood reflects the evolving dynamics of work-life balance in contemporary society.
As Vikram Bhatt embraces his new role as a grandfather, fans and followers will be keen to see how this personal joy influences his creative output. With Haunted – Echoes Of The Past set to release soon, it will be interesting to observe how the film fares amidst the backdrop of these personal developments.
Moreover, the industry will undoubtedly keep an eye on Krishna Bhatt as she navigates motherhood while continuing her professional pursuits. The dual narrative of personal triumph and professional resilience makes for a compelling story that resonates deeply with audiences.
In conclusion, the Bhatt family’s latest chapter is one filled with both challenges and triumphs. As they embark on this new journey, both Vikram and Krishna are set to inspire many, showcasing the power of determination and the joy of family amidst the chaos of life in the film industry.
