Remembering those days, Vikram confessed that even everyday expenses became too difficult for him to manage sometimes. He said:
“I was a struggling director. Mere pas zeher khane ke paise nahi the. I was directing Aamir Khan and dating Miss Universe, so to say, but I had no money. I was broke. I remember I didn’t even have the money to buy a CD. I’ve lived life like a fakira.”
