Actor Vikrant Massey is on cloud nine after snagging the Best Actor award at the 71st National Film Awards. Everyone is talking about his big win. But when he recently spoke out, it became clear his idea of success is quite different from what you might think. He also shared some exciting news about playing a spiritual leader in an upcoming film.
Massey caught up with ANI in Delhi and dished on his career journey. He said his definition of success has completely changed over his two decades in the industry. For him, it is no longer about winning awards or becoming super famous. Instead, success means living the life he has always pictured for himself.
“I just want to live the life I’ve always dreamed of,” Massey shared. “That means having my family close and getting a peaceful night’s sleep. It means being able to raise my child well. I want to travel the world and fulfill all my small wishes. That, for me, is true success.” It is a refreshing take from a star enjoying a huge moment.
