Bollywood actor Vikrant Massey has opened up about his challenging journey to success, reflecting on his early struggles in the industry. At just 16 years old, he stepped in front of the camera for the first time, after working tirelessly in various jobs to support himself. Massey revealed that before his acting career took off, he worked long hours in a coffee shop, where he often juggled 16-hour shifts alongside his studies.
His determination led him to work in a restaurant in Mumbai and serve as an assistant instructor for a dance group. The sacrifices were significant, as he recalled taking four local trains daily just to make ends meet. His diet during those tough times consisted mainly of Parle-G biscuits and water, a testament to the hardships he faced while pursuing his dreams.
Massey’s breakthrough came when he landed a role in a show after nearly eight months of hard work. However, he faced disappointment when the show was aired only after several years, and he received only half of his promised payment. Reflecting on that time, he expressed his frustration, lamenting that it felt as though all his efforts had gone to waste. Despite these setbacks, a female producer recognized his dedication and offered him a chance to work under her banner, which eventually led him to both television and film.
Vikrant Massey has appeared in popular television series such as “Balika Vadhu” and “Qubool Hai.” Driven by his ambition to make a mark in the film industry, he bid farewell to television and made his cinematic debut in 2013 with the film “Lootera.” His outstanding performance in the film “Aankh Micholi” earned him a National Award, further establishing his reputation as a talented actor.
Currently, Massey is busy working on his upcoming film “Romeo,” which features Shahid Kapoor and Trupti Dimri in lead roles. The film is slated for release on February 13, and fans are eagerly anticipating his performance. Massey’s journey from struggling artist to recognized actor is an inspiring tale of resilience and dedication in the face of adversity, serving as a reminder that success often comes after overcoming significant challenges.
