Mumbai: Sanjay Leela Bhansali confesses that there were 'relationships that didn't work out'. He admits that his life may be 'unfulfilled', but it isn't 'unhappy'.
"All the pain, suffering, love passion and conflict have made me what I am. I make passionate love stories because I don't have love in my life. My art completes my life. My life may be unfulfilled. But it isn't unhappy," said Bhansali who turned 50 this year.
The maker of hits like 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Devdas' doesn's miss anything in life and adds that he has chosen the life he leads. "There were relationships that didn't work out. I am basically a nomadic loner," said the filmmaker and adds "Salman Khan is one person I'd always consider very close to my heart".
