Vikrant Massey

Vikrant Massey, born April 3, 1987, in Mumbai, is one of those actors who just nails it every single time, even if he’s on screen for like, five minutes. The guy started out with TV—remember Balika Vadhu? Yeah, that’s where he became a household name. Not long after, he jumped to films, making his Bollywood debut in Lootera (2013) alongside Ranveer Singh and Sonakshi Sinha. But honestly, his big breakout as a lead was in A Death in the Gunj (2016), where he played this awkward, introverted student. Critics and audiences couldn’t stop raving about him. He snagged a Best Actor award at Caleidoscope and even got a Filmfare nomination. Fast forward, he’s worked with some of the best in the biz—Meghna Gulzar in Chhapaak (2020) with Deepika Padukone, and picked up another award for Best Supporting Actor. The guy’s filmography is wild: Dil Dhadakne Do, Lipstick Under My Burkha, Ginny Weds Sunny, Dolly Kitty Aur Woh Chamakte Sitare, Cargo, Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi—the list just keeps growing. Plus, he’s totally killing it on the web, starring in hits like Mirzapur, Broken But Beautiful, Made in Heaven (cameo, but still), and Criminal Justice, which got him even more awards. Oh, and did you know he’s also a trained jazz dancer and worked with Shiamak Davar? Multitalented much. Upcoming projects? Haseen Dillruba, 14 Phere, Mumbaikar, Love Hostel—dude’s not slowing down. Vikrant’s journey is basically proof that if you’ve got talent and grit, you can make it big. Fans love him for his authenticity and the sheer honesty he brings to every role.
