Bhatt shared that it was the birth of his second daughter Shaheen that made him realise he had to change his ways. He recalled an incident where he found himself sleeping on the footpath of the JVPD scheme. Quoted by ABP News, he said, “I remember my face was on the concrete and dawn was just breaking. I realised I had gone for some party and I had fallen down on the road and slept there. I remember walking up to my house, I was living with Soni. She said. ‘What happened to you?’ I said, 'I don't know, I've become an alcoholic'.” ALSO READ: Arbaaz Khan REACTS To Being Compared With Salman Khan, Admits He Is More Successful Than Him; Says, ‘Mujhe Kya Sharam Bolne Mein?’
The Sadak director spoke about the time when Shaheen, his first child with actress Soni Razdan, was born and he had gone to meet her. He said, “I was holding Shaheen in my arms and I went to kiss her, I got this feeling as if she moved away. She couldn't bear the fumes of alcohol. She couldn't have done, she was a baby, but this is what I hallucinated and projected. ”
