Vikram Bhatt to host Ishq Kills

Director Vikram Bhatt, who has earlier directed a horror show Haunted Nights, will be making a comeback to television with a show titled Ishq Kills. This time though, he’ll be facing the camera as an anchor for the show that explores the theme of forbidden love stories. Ask the film-maker what made him take on Ishq Kills, he says, “Shagufta Rafique is a good friend of mine, and she’s the writer of the show. When I got this offer to host the show, I didn’t know that she’s writing it. But when I read it, I was keen to do the show because of the stories that featured in it. I think that if someone is trying to push the envelope, even if it’s just a little, then I should help in that effort.”
Bhatt has already shot a few episodes of the show, and is not too worried about how to go about hosting it. He’s quite clear about wanting to give a personal touch to the show. “I want to bring to it a certain level of understanding that I have of relationships, taking into account that I’ve had a checkered past to say the least. I know what it is to love and fail, and what it is to be loved and spurn. I’ve seen both sides, and I understand that
