Speaking about his choice of films, Vikrant Massey said, “I choose layered characters because I don’t like unidimensional characters. All of us have so many layers as people also. I am not just an actor, but a son, a father, a brother, a husband, and also a friend to someone. There are so many things I am in my life. How can I be unidimensional?”
“I also realize that I am lucky to be acting in this time, especially in the last 10 years. There are far more real stories being written and watched by people. So I feel blessed to be a part of this time where relevant stories are being told, and I get to be a part of them,” he mentioned.
Speaking about how the success of 12th Fail validated him as an actor, Vikrant said, “Validation from the industry has come in, and I was longing for it. I always backed myself and continue to do so, but it was very important for me, deep within me, I had this urge to be validated by more people and not just be labelled an alternate actor. 12th Fail’s commercial success was important to me.”
He continued, “There are a lot more roles coming my way, and a lot of producers want to work with me now. I wanted that. I am happy, but I also know it’s all very temporary and people change with time. The idea is to keep working towards what your larger desires are and in my case, it is to be consistent with what I do as an actor.”

Speaking about how he deals with success and failure, Vikrant said, “My mechanism to deal with success and failure is the same. I don’t take either very seriously. Everything is so temporary in life. I have seen people change like the weather in success and failure. I move on very quickly and don’t sit with either for too long. The same things can change equally fast the moment you trip again and are back to where you began.”
Vikrant Massey has now taken a temporary break from acting. His last two films will be released in 2025. He is currently shooting for Aankhon Ki Gustakhiyan with Shanaya Kapoor.
