In the bustling world of Bollywood, amidst the glitz and glamour, a tender moment unfolds as celebrated actor Vikrant Massey takes a step to eternally enshrine the love for his newborn son. Earlier this year, in February, the actor and his wife Sheetal Thakur embraced parenthood with the arrival of their son, whom they named Vardaan. In what seems to be an expression of unadulterated joy and an emblem of paternal affection, Massey has had the name of his son and his birth date, ‘7-2-2024′, inscribed on his arm.
Vikrant Massey, known for his roles that often strike a chord with the audience for their relatability and depth, took to social media to proudly showcase this heartfelt addition. He posted a snapshot of his tattoo on Instagram stories, accompanying it with the caption, “Addition or addiction? I love them both,” followed by a red heart emoji, signifying his deep love for both his new role as a father and the new tattoo.
The actor and his wife initially announced the arrival of Vardaan in a subtle and heartwarming Instagram post on February 23, sharing an adorable family picture with a partial glimpse of the baby. The post was captioned with the words, “Nothing short of a blessing…We named him Vardaan!!!” This reveal was met with an outpour of love and well-wishes from fans and friends alike, celebrating the couple’s journey into parenthood.
Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur first met on the sets of the popular ALT Balaji web series “Broken But Beautiful,” where Vikrant played one of the main characters. The on-screen chemistry soon paved the way for off-screen romance, leading to their engagement in a private roka ceremony in November 2019. In interviews, Vikrant has often lavishly praised Sheetal and expressed his contentment on marital life stating, “Yes, there are a lot of things that are different now. I feel a lot different but I married my best friend and couldn’t have asked for more.”
On the professional front, Massey’s recent appearance was in the film ’12th Fail’, which narrates the real-life story of Manoj Kumar Sharma. The movie resonates with the hardships faced by millions of aspiring students in India who wish to pass the formidable UPSC entrance examination. Directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and based on the book by Anurag Pathak, the film extends beyond the examination, urging viewers to persevere through failure and to always keep striving for a new beginning.
Following the footsteps of this inspirational story, the actor continues his voyage through cinematic realms and is set to star in ‘Phir Aayi Haseen Dilruba’, the sequel to the thrilling ‘Hassen Dilruba’. Alongside this, he has also concluded the shooting for ‘The Sabarmati Report’, a film that features Raashii Khanna alongside him.
With these professional updates, the future looks bright for Vikrant Massey, but it’s evident that his most cherished role to date is that of being a father. The doting dad, through the permanent mark on his skin, has made a statement of omnipresent love, marking an indelible impression not just on his arm, but also on the hearts of his fans and followers. As Vardaan grows up, he will have a constant reminder of his father’s love—etched not just in ink, but in the lifetime of memories that they will create together.
