NEW DELHI: Actor Vikrant Massey says he is a man with a plan and also without one as he welcomes his destiny and whatever life has in store for him with open arms.
Massey, who began his journey on the small screen with shows such as “Dharam Veer” and “Balika Vadhu”, is known for bringing a quiet intensity and sensitivity to his roles, making him one of the most versatile performers of his generation.
The actor started his journey in films with Vikramaditya Motwane’s “Lootera” and has given critically-lauded performances in movies and shows such as “A Death in the Gunj”, “Lipstick Under My Burkha”, “Chhapaak”, “Mirzapur” and most recently “Cargo”.
In an interview, Massey said like many of his contemporaries, he has a plan for his career but he is not “chasing” it.
“In bits and pieces, yes (I have a plan). Nobody survives without a plan, but I’m not chasing the plan now. Now, that’s the thin line. If I want to break it down, my plan is to go out there and entertain people with good performances…
“But I have been here without a plan and very early in my life, I realised this thing that how can my plans be better than his plans, whoever is up there,” the actor said.
Massey said his journey in life and cinema has been beautiful so far.
“I have been blessed with better tomorrows than todays. In retrospect, there are days when I look back and I always believe that God has been kind. So, I haven’t planned my life per se.
“The little things that are within my control, I try planning them but I’m someone who’s very subservient towards the existence of something up there. So I would rather leave it at that because that journey has been beautiful,” he said.
Massey choice of roles — be it the kindhearted Rana in “Dil Dhadakne Do”; bullied Shutu in “A Death in the Gunj”; activist Amol in “Chhapaak” or the reluctant gangster Bublu Pandit in “Mirzapur” — have always struck the right chord. (AGENCIES)
