Vikrant Massey, who has given some great performances in films, started off his journey with television. And while the actor starred in some popular TV shows, when he decided to move to films, the transition was no cakewalk for him. Being in the TV industry for 10 years, Vikrant had to start from scratch while entering Bollywood. After a fair share of struggle, Vikrant has finally made a mark in the film industry. Not only has the actor played some pivotal roles in films, but he was also the main lead in his last film Chhapaak.
Talking about his struggle, as per a press statement issued by the actor's publicist, he stated, "We grow up in a culture where films are perceived as idealistic. We idolise filmmakers and what's it like to be a film star. All those notions are destroyed when you try to become a movie actor. TV actors ko filmon mein bade parts nahi milte. Do-teen scenes ke role milte hai, yeh perception ban gaya hai and it's true to an extent. People think since you're a household name, you lack fresh appeal. Why does it take someone's death for us to be kinder?"
