At 16, this actor cleaned tables in a cafe, bought his house in Mumbai at 24 and won a National Award with Shah Rukh Khan | Hindi Movie News

Vikrant Massey ha recorregut un llarg camí en la indústria des de la televisió fins al cinema. Although today she has films like ’12th Fail’, ‘The Sabarmati Report’ and web shows like ‘Mirzapur’ in her credits, Massey’s journey has seen its share of struggles. The actor recently recalled his early days and revealed that he had a humble beginning cleaning coffee tables as a teenager in Mumbai. During the interaction, Vikrant spoke about how financial security became a priority from a young age and revealed that buying his first home fulfilled one of his mother’s lifelong wishes. “L’estabilitat era una cosa que era molt important per a nosaltres. Venc d’una família de classe mitjana molt habitual. I started working at 16 and no 16-year-old boy would really venture out of the comfort of his home and earn money, or probably take up a job or clean tables in a coffee shop,” he said in an interview with FLO Bangalore Official. He continued, “One of the reasons I had to do it was to support my own education, to financially support my family. And again, I’m glad, I’m very grateful that life took this path because, like I said, I wouldn’t have been who I am. And when I bought my first little house at 24, I ticked that important box for my mom, if only I had happened to come home. a.'” And he had no explanation. They would say, “Where are you going?” And I would say, “I went somewhere.” And they said, “Come on, let’s play cricket or football.”And you don’t really have an answer because, at that young age, you’re also embarrassed to tell your friends, or the world, that you’re actually going to make money because you have to support your family.”Reflecting on those formative years, Vikrant said that hardships shaped his personality and forced him to mature much earlier than most children. “And that’s when, at that young age, you start building your defense mechanisms, your barriers and a lot of pretensions too, right? It hurt then. But like I say, I wouldn’t change a moment or a day. Watching my friends play, watching them go out to the cinema, or even celebrating Diwali was a very important thing for me on Monday because I had work. Vikrant va afegir que la vida avui se sent gairebé increïble. Having once struggled to pay for college, he and his wife are now deciding which of the top schools in the country would be best for their son. “I started working to pay for university fees, my train pass, my ID card and a few other things. But today, my wife and I are probably looking at school brochures for some of the best schools in the country. And this is the journey. It feels a little surreal. Should we send it to Ambani or Birla? This is where we are today, and God has been kind.”Per als que no ho saben, els primers ingressos de Vikrant van arribar quan encara estudiava a l’institut de Sant Antoni de Versova. He was selected by a New Zealand health advisory board to be featured in a catalog and was paid 200 rupees for the commission. A few years later, while in class 10, he joined Shiamak Davar’s dance troupe as a contemporary dancer during his summer vacation, marking his first regular salaried job. Al voltant del mateix període, també va treballar en un cafè de Versova. National Award with Shah Rukh Khan. Mentre que Vikrant el va guanyar per ’12th Fail’, SRK ho va aconseguir per ‘Jawan’.
