Who is Shwetambari Bhatt? Vikram Bhatt’s wife named in Rs 30 crore alleged film-financing fraud case
Indian art curator and creative professional Shwetambari Soni is known for her gallery curating work and her marriage to filmmaker Vikram Bhatt. With a refined artistic vision and a private yet down-to-earth personal life, he continues to maintain his unique identity in the creative world.
Shwetambari Soni, also known today as Shwetambari Bhatt, is an Indian art curator whose work in the creative field has continually shaped her public identity long before she became widely known as the wife of filmmaker Vikram Bhatt. Although he has a relatively private personal history, his professional journey reflects a deep and consistent commitment to contemporary art, curation and gallery-based creative expression. His early interest in aesthetics and creative culture laid the foundation for a career focused on interpreting and presenting visual art.
Careers in Arts and Creative Enterprises
Shwetambari’s work primarily revolves around gallery management, exhibition curation and supporting creative communities. Based in Mumbai, he is associated with major art spaces where he identifies artists, curates exhibitions and creates collaborative experiences between creators and audiences. Colleagues describe him as someone with an eye for detail, a calm leadership style, and a strong sense of design. His approach combines artistic expression with lifestyle aesthetics, making him known in niche creative circles.
Marriage and Public Promotion
Shwetambari gained more public attention after her marriage to Vikram Bhatt in September 2020. The ceremony was held privately with only immediate family in attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The couple publicly confirmed their marriage nearly a year later, sharing glimpses of their personal bond via social media. Their relationship reportedly began when Vikram collaborated on a poetry project for one of Shwetambari’s art exhibitions, which later evolved into a personal partnership.
The couple stands out by blending their backgrounds in different creative fields and maintaining a relationship based on mutual understanding and complementary perspectives.
Personal Life and Public Image
Shwetambari is the mother of two sons from her previous marriage, while Vikram has a daughter from his previous marriage. Together they have embraced a blended family dynamic marked by respect, emotional openness, and a quiet but strong sense of unity.
Alleged Investment Dispute
In November 2025, an IVF hospital founder in Udaipur filed a complaint alleging that Vikram Bhatt persuaded him to invest around Rs 30 crore in film projects, including a proposed biopic, with a company linked to Shwetambari Bhatt, who was mentioned in the complaint. Authorities in Rajasthan and Mumbai detained the couple for questioning in early December. Both Vikram and Shwetambari denied the allegations, terming the complaint misleading and asserting that payments were withheld by the complainant. The matter continues to be investigated.
