The exceptionally talented actor, Vikrant Massey is hailed for his acting chops in 12th Fail. Hailed one of the most versatile actors, Vikrant began his career by working in TV shows. Though he got tremendous recognition, the actor in him was not satisfied with the sort of work he was getting. Hence, he ventured into films and proved the mettle of his acting by doing out-of-the-box roles.
Vikrant, who comes from a humble middle-class family has often talked about the same in various interviews. In a recent interaction with Samdish on his YouTube show, Unfiltered by Samdish, Vikrant revealed how his close friends judged him when they visited his home. Elaborating on the same, he stated:
“Ek incident tha jahan pe maine logon ko ghar bulaya, apne doston ko, bahut gehre dost the and I am proud of it. I am not ashamed of it. Main aapko mansikta bata raha hoon logon ki. Kyun ki meri maa bahut achha khaana banati hai, toh maine bola ghar aao yaar, daawat pe bulaya sabko.”

However, when Vikrant’s friends visited his home, they were disappointed and judged the actor for the same. Sharing people’s mentality, Vikrant narrated the changed behaviour that he witnessed in them the next day. In his words:
“Jab ghar ki disha dekhi unhone, unhone dekha ki plastic ki kursiyaan hai ghar pe paint chip ho raha hai, silan lagi hui hai ceiling pe, kitchen unke hisaab se aesthetically clean nahi tha, toh agle din se phir unka bhartaav meri taraf badal gaya. Mujhe chats dikhaayi gayi hain ki Vikrant ka ghar kaisa hai. Oh my God he lives in a house like that. Usko dekh ke to lagta nahi hai.”
