As I sit here, reflecting on the life journey of Vikrant Massey, I am truly humbled and inspired by his extraordinary story. His parents’ resilience and determination, living through hardships that could have been plucked straight from the pages of a classic Hindi film, is a testament to their indomitable spirit.
In a recent conversation, Vikrant Massey from The Sabarmati Report opened up about his life before entering acting, discussing the struggles his parents experienced. He analogized their tale to a typical Bollywood film, reminiscing about times when his mother prepared lunch boxes to supplement their income. He also spoke of a period when his parents were neighbors with the Kapoor family but were later evicted from their home and had to live in warehouses for a while.
During a chat with Faye D’Souza, Vikrant Massey reminisced about his parents’ life, comparing it to a timeless Hindi film plot. He disclosed that at one point, his parents resided in Juhu, neighbors to the Kapoor family; however, following a disagreement within their own family, they were compelled to leave their home.
As an ardent admirer, let me share a profound insight: I’ve learned that my beloved actor’s journey to stardom was no bed of roses. Before finding their footing in Versova, my idol and his family endured a challenging phase, living for almost a year in makeshift homes within warehouses with a tender sprout of life – myself.
Even though he currently holds a privileged role, he’s mindful that his situation might shift once more, much like it did at the start of his career, which was two decades back.
Apart from this, Vikrant detailed how his mother supported their household income through operating a lunchbox service. He revealed that she’d rise as early as 3 a.m., begin cooking at 4, and have approximately 20 meals ready by 6, when the delivery person (dabbawala) would pick them up for distribution.
Once she dropped off her kids at school and had breakfast, she’d take a well-deserved rest until they came back in the afternoon. In the late afternoon (4 pm to 7 pm), she tutored them, managing multiple responsibilities like cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the family during the day. Eventually, she would retire for the night around midnight, but her sleep was short-lived as she woke up at 3 am, ready to start the cycle anew.
As a follower who’s recently graced Aditya Nimbalkar’s Netflix crime thriller Sector 36, I am currently gearing up for the premiere of The Sabarmati Report, helmed by Dheeraj Sarna and based on the tragic events following the Godhra train burning incident in 2002. Sharing the screen with Raashii Khanna and Riddhi Dogra, we’re set to hit the big screens on November 15, 2024.
