As he stood at Rashtrapati Bhavan today, accepting the National Award for Best Actor for his passionate performance in 12th Fail, Vikrant Massey had an absolutely unforgettable day.
Beyond the honour itself, his quiet assurance, sincere friendliness, and modest demeanour made a deep impression on everyone in attendance.
Talking about this life-changing moment, Vikrant said, “Winning the National Award is the proudest moment of my life. It’s a dream that a 20-year-old boy once envisioned, and to see it come to fruition feels nothing short of surreal. Sharing this moment with my beloved mother and wife is another dream I am grateful to have realised today. If this serves as a testament to my dedication to the craft, I hope to continue being worthy of people’s time and trust — to better myself with each step, and to entertain as well as inform through the privileged platform of cinema and media that I am fortunate to be a part of.”
For Vikrant, this honour is more than just a trophy; it's a testament to his years of dedication, enthusiasm, and faith in his trade.
His portrayal of IPS Officer Manoj Kumar Sharma in 12th Fail resonated with both critics and viewers due to its emotional depth and sincerity. In addition to honouring his extraordinary talent, the award ceremony paid homage to the film's inspirational backstory.
Vikrant has solidified his status as one of the most gifted actors of his generation with this honour.
However, he is already preparing for new challenges rather than sitting on his laurels. He will play spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in one of his next projects, White, which promises to be another impactful and significant performance.
In addition to the prize, Vikrant's day at Rashtrapati Bhavan will be remembered for his poise and modesty. It served as a lovely reminder that maintaining perspective and gratitude is what really stands out, even in the face of enormous success.
