What is happening in director Vikram Bhatt's life? The director, who has given more hits than any of his rivals in Bollywood in the recent past, has found a new friend. No, Bhatt hasn't patched up with one of his countless former lady loves but has found happiness with Amisha Patel, the heroine who has been going through a really bad patch in recent times. Amisha has a place in Mumbai's Bandra: a not too upmarket joint by the standard of film stars where she spends a part of her time. This is where Bhatt can be found these days very often.

Not surprising, tongues are wagging. Some are suggesting that Amisha has distanced herself from her parents and decided to lead an independent life. The distancing has not been bitter, just that the girl is investing more time in an individualistic lifestyle, a new scheme of things for her in which Bhatt figures prominently. A small section is even asserting that Bhatt can be found at her place in Bandra at all sorts of eerie hours, and that he is living in with Amisha. The latter should be taken with a pinch of salt, but there is no denying that these two people from the industry are really thick, and that the world around them is noticing that too.

Vikram Bhatt is known to be a guy with an eye for pretty women, but Amisha has been the sort of girl about whom one hadn't heard too many stories before. This is the first time when a hot story involving Miss Patel is doing the rounds, but then, everybody gets into such relationships especially if the place is Bollywood.
