After Mahesh Bhatt's headline grabbing statement that Bipasha faces extinction, Vikram Bhatt (who regards Mahesh as his mentor) does likewise. Bhatt, whose forthcoming film Raaz 3' apparently has references of his relationship with actress Ameesha Patel, says, he understands the pain of an actress who rises to fame and the sudden downfall.

"I have these memories of a girl (Ameesha) who was fighting hard to bring back the time gone by and I too was having my struggle with the bad phase. So it is not just about her, it is also about me. But, luckily I was able to re-invent myself because I am a director, who doesn't have a shelf life," Vikram said without accepting or denying that Bipasha's role in 'Raaz 3' was inspired by Ameesha's life.

In 'Raaz 3', Bipasha plays an actress who is at the top of her career and sees a sudden downfall with another budding actress, Esha Gupta, taking her place. To regain her position in the industry, Bipasha resorts to black magic.

So, will Ameesha maintain a dignified silence, or sue her former boyfriend?
