Vikram Bhatt received news of his first grandchild on May 11 when his daughter Krishna delivered a baby boy. The veteran director, known for his work in horror films, spoke about the moment shortly after the birth. He described the night as exhausting yet filled with quiet anticipation for what lies ahead for the family.
A Lighthearted Start to Grandfatherhood
Vikram Bhatt greeted the arrival with a mix of humor and fatigue. He joked about his new status, noting that he could now exercise some authority as a grandfather. At the same time, he admitted the reality had not fully registered after a sleepless night spent at the hospital.
The director emphasized that both Krishna and the newborn were doing well. He highlighted how the family had navigated the final stages of pregnancy under considerable pressure. This personal milestone arrived against the backdrop of ongoing professional commitments that Krishna had refused to set aside.
Krishna’s Steadfast Commitment to Work
Even as she prepared for delivery, Krishna Bhatt insisted on overseeing details for the upcoming film Haunted – Echoes Of The Past. She reviewed shots and maintained her role as a quality check on the project right up to the operation theater. Vikram Bhatt praised this dedication, calling her approach meticulous and unwavering.
The pregnancy itself had been far from routine. Krishna had remained active throughout, balancing family life with her involvement in the production. Her husband, businessman Vedant Sarda, whom she married in June 2023, supported her through these demanding months. The couple’s focus on the film reflected a determination to keep professional momentum intact despite personal challenges.
Vikram Bhatt expressed pride in how his daughter handled the situation. He noted that her insistence on staying involved helped maintain continuity on the project. This level of involvement stood out as a testament to her resilience during a period marked by both excitement and strain.
Reflecting on Past Pressures and Relief
The director addressed the difficulties Krishna faced earlier in the pregnancy. She had been named in a legal filing, though her name was later excluded from the chargesheet. The episode left her stressed and affected the overall experience of expecting a child.
Vikram Bhatt directed a pointed message toward those who had wished her ill during that time. He stated that their efforts had ultimately failed to derail her progress. The safe arrival of the baby marked a clear turning point after months of uncertainty.
He added that the family now looks forward to a period of stability. The birth has brought a sense of closure to recent hardships while opening space for new priorities at home.
Forward Momentum on the Film Front
Despite the personal news, Vikram Bhatt confirmed that promotions for Haunted – Echoes Of The Past remain on track. A new song from the film is set to release on May 13, signaling positive developments ahead of its June 12 launch. He described the timing as a welcome shift toward good news after earlier setbacks.
The director also addressed a recent public notice concerning the film’s release amid an NCLT order. He dismissed the concerns as baseless and noted that legal counsel would handle further statements. This update underscored his intent to keep the project moving without interruption.
The arrival of the baby boy has given Vikram Bhatt a fresh perspective on family life. He hopes the milestone brings renewed focus to the parents while he steps back to enjoy his role as grandfather. For now, the director appears ready to balance these personal joys with the steady pace of his professional world.
