Vikrant Massey Reveals Facing Subtle Jabs For Being A TV Turned Movie Actor, Feels Underutilised

Vikrant Massey is on an all-time high. While still reeling in praises for his performance in the Taapsee Pannu starrer Haseen Dillruba, he is all set for the release of his next – 14 Phere. The actor, who began his acting career on television, revealed he felt underutilised in the decade he spent on the small screen.

Besides that, the Ginny Weds Sunny actor also admitted that he experienced ‘subtle jabs’ taken at him as he hailed from the TV industry. Read on to know all he has to say while promoting his upcoming film co-starring Kriti Kharbanda.

During a recent conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Vikrant Massey opened up about going from a TV actor to becoming a film star. He said, “I have always said ki, the moment you tell me that ‘you can’t do this’, I’ll make sure I do that. When I wanted to make the switch to films, my parents were like, ‘beta, graduation complete karlo, ek saar pe chat lelo, uske baad humme kuch nahi chahiye life se’ (son, complete your graduation, get a roof over your head, then do what you want.) When I did that at 24, it was a very tough decision for me to make the switch. A lot of wry comments, a lot of subtle jabs (were taken) at television actors – ‘yeh tv actor hai, woh hai.’”
