When Sushmita Sen revealed that she didn't feel guilty about dating 'married' Vikram Bhatt. Sushmita Sen made her grand Bollywood debut with the film Dastak, which was written by Vikram Bhatt. The two often interacted with each other on set and during the shoot, despite Vikram being married, Sushmita and Vikram fell in love.
