Vikrant Massey will be next seen in The Sabarmati Report, based on the Godhra Riots of 2002. On Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Vikrant explained how he and his family live an immensely secular life. Vikrant’s parents had an interfaith marriage – his father is a Christian and his mother a Sikh. His brother Moeen converted to Islam. He’s married to Sheetal Thakur, a Hindu.
“My brother does Laxmi puja on the occasion of Diwali. His conversion is his personal choice. But we celebrate Diwali and Holi together here. On the occasion of Eid, we celebrate it at his place, having biryani. Today, that fulcrum is absent (in society),” Vikrant said.
“My father has been to Vaishno Devi temple (located in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir) six times. He is a Christian and goes to church twice a week even now. But that’s what India has always been like. You will find Christians whose name is Rahul, Rohit etc. We ourselves go to gurudwaras and many Hindus go to Ajmer Sharif Dargah (located in Rajasthan). This is our Hindustan. Why is it so surprising? There’s a temple in my house. My son’s name is Vardaan. This is the fabric of our country,” Vikrant added.
