In the most shocking incident, Massey was nominated for the best actor category by a popular award function. However, the actor was not invited to it. Well, since a couple of days, this kind of revelations are getting public as people are fearlessly coming out and speaking about things that they are going through inside the industry.

In a conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor opened up about his last tweet. It was in support of Vidyut Jammwal who wasn’t invited to the Disney+ Hotstar conference. It happened despite his film releasing along with Akshay Kumar’s ‘Bell Bottom’, Alia Bhatt’s Sadak 2, among 5 other films.

Vikrant Massey said, “I was saying that the other actors should have been invited as well. It has happened to me too. I remember, I was nominated for the Best Actor Jury category in a popular award function, but wasn’t invited to the event. So, should I be hurt by that? No. It doesn’t matter to me kyunki system hi aisa hai. I am only focused at work.”

The actor also spoke abput his struggles during initial shift from TV to Bollywood. He made debut with Sonakshi Sinha and Ranveer Singh’s Lootera, for which initially he was rejected.

“When you start off, beggars can’t be choosers and back then, TV actors weren’t given much importance. I was told that TV actors ka kuch nahin hoga films mein. In fact, I auditioned for Lootera and was rejected but later, the actor who was signed on to play the friend in the film couldn’t do it and the makers called me 20 days before the shoot. So, that was sheer luck. My attempt paid off. A career in Bollywood is a mix of luck, opportunities you get, choices you make and your talent. Instead of saying, mauka nahin milta, one should turn every challenge into an opportunity. I am thankful to all the makers who saw potential in me and case me in substantial roles. That led to other filmmakers offering better roles,” he concluded.
