Vikrant Massey: I spent four days at home after the wedding

Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur’s love story had the perfect culmination as the two tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Bilaspur, last month. A dreamy honeymoon would have been the ideal follow-up. But the actor had to trade honeymoon in an exotic country for long working hours at Rajkot instead. Within days of the nuptials, Massey headed to Gujarat to shoot for Pavan Kripalani’s Gaslight.
So, it’s not surprising that he begins the chat with: “My wife is upset.” Currently filming with Sara Ali Khan and Chitrangda Singh, Massey hopes to make it up to his wife soon. “Ideally, we would have liked to take a month off, but there are certain commitments that you have to fulfil. It’s a balancing act. I spent four days at home after the wedding. After that, I have been shooting. I will make it up to Sheetal. She has been supportive, but there are moments when she complains like any wife would.”
The actor was keen to work with Kripalani for long. Things fell in place only with the upcoming thriller. “We were to collaborate on Bhoot Police [2021]. However, things kept going back and forth, and I had to drop out of the film eventually. I am glad this has finally happened,” he says, adding that co-star Khan is “a vibrant energy on the set.”
He kicked off 2022 with Love Hostel that tackled the rampant honour killings in our country by telling the love story of Massey’s Ashu and Sanya Malhotra’s Jyoti. Despite its brave theme, the film received mixed response. “A lot of people have bashed the film. But that’s the beauty of films — there are so many interpretations.
Criticism doesn’t bother me because I see them as different perspectives. I neither disregard nor take any of them seriously. Everyone has the right to voice their opinion.” The actor adds that filming the ZEE5 drama took a toll on him. “I was so disturbed that I wanted to take therapy throughout the filming. The timing of the film also held significance. The subject is relevant in the times that we are living in.”
