Vikrant Massey, now a celebrated actor, marks his 33rd birthday today, having recently won the National Film Award for Best Actor for his performance in the 2023 film '12th Fail.' His journey began in a modest 1BHK home in Mumbai, where he faced financial hardships that forced him to work from a young age. Surviving on Parle-G biscuits and water, he earned just ₹200 for his first job as a background dancer. Despite the challenges, he became a familiar face on Indian television with shows like 'Balika Vadhu' and 'Qubool Hai.' Transitioning to Bollywood, he took on smaller roles, believing that every part holds significance. His dedication paid off with standout performances in 'Mirzapur' and 'A Death in the Gunj,' leading to his acclaimed role in '12th Fail.' Massey's commitment to authenticity in his craft and his decision to focus on personal life at the peak of his career exemplify his resilience and grounded nature.
