Actor Vikrant Massey became the subject of a hot-button issue when he was embroiled in what appeared to be an argument with a cab driver. The incident, caught on video and rapidly disseminated across social media platforms, showcased a contentious exchange regarding the cost of a cab fare. The argument erupted into a fiery dispute, with Vikrant questioning the sudden increase in the fare that was initially cited as 450 rupees. The video, recorded by the cab driver during the squabble, pins the actor in an unfavorable light.
The footage exhibits the cab driver in a verbal tiff with Vikrant Massey as he confronts the actor about his unwillingness to pay the upped fare. When the driver poses the question, “Does that mean you are not going to pay?”, Vikrant sharply retorts, “Why should I pay, brother? And why are you shouting?” The conflict reaches a boiling point, prompting wide circulation of the video online. The post, shared by Instant Bollywood on Instagram and elsewhere, has since become a subject of scrutiny and skepticism among the public.
While the clip might have initially sparked a negative reaction towards Massey, Internet users swiftly expressed doubts about its authenticity, citing it as potentially staged. The realm of social media did not delay in airing views and opinions, as evidenced by the comments section brimming with users speculating that the altercation was nothing more than a promotional gambit. One user expressed support for Vikrant’s stance but also noted the likelihood of a movie promotion angle. Others insinuated that their acting skills might surpass those displayed in the video.
Amid comments ranging from witty barbs to outright disbelief, the consensus veered towards viewing the scenario as a publicity stunt associated with Vikrant Massey’s forthcoming projects. A portion of the audience also pointed out that the alleged aggression from the actor, as implied by the video’s title, was nowhere in sight, adding to the doubts about its legitimacy.
Despite the furor surrounding the viral video, Vikrant Massey has been busy on the professional front. He shares the culmination of a filming journey with Raashii Khanna, as they wrap up their latest movie ‘The Sabarmati Report’. Raashii Khanna shared behind-the-scenes glimpses along with heartfelt notes on her social media channels. In one of the posted moments, the ‘Yodha’ actress celebrates the storytelling and collaborative spirit that resonated on set. An image with director Ranjan Chandel underlined the gratification of having worked with a passionate team.
Vikrant Massey has been riding the success wave with the release of his movie ’12th Fail’, and anticipation is building for his appearance in the sequel to ‘Hassen Dilruba’, entitled ‘Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba’. Raashii Khanna was recently seen soaring in the sky-high action of ‘Yodha’, alongside Sidharth Malhotra.
The altercation between Vikrant Massey and the cab driver might linger in the airwaves a bit longer as the online community debates its realness. While it spawned initial shock and disapproval, the narrative quickly transformed into one of skepticism regarding the potential motivations behind the shared video. Whether it was a genuine clash or a cleverly orchestrated media play, the discussion has, undoubtedly, helped keep names trending and tongues wagging in the world of showbiz.
