Once in a lifetime, we all plan a trip with our friends to India’s favorite holiday destination, Goa. The Sabarmati Report actor Vikrant Massey is no different. However, his trip didn’t turn out the way one would expect it to be, as he had to sell his mobile phone to return to Mumbai.
During a recent conversation with CurlyTales, Vikrant Massey recalled taking a trip to Goa with his friends after he had started making some money. However, during the trip, he and his friends ran out of money, which forced the actor to sell his mobile phone to cover the expenses.
He shared, “I had just started earning, and I took Rs 5000 with me. I went with my friends in a Volvo bus. It was the last night of the trip, and we used to split all expenses back then. Like, if we bought a cold drink for Rs 20, we’d split it Rs 10 each. At the time of checkout, we had all exhausted our money. We needed to pay the hotel bill. I had a mobile phone, so I sold it to settle the bill and buy return tickets to Mumbai for all my friends.”
In another conversation with Faye D’Souza, Vikrant emphasized how one can overcome their financial struggles but its emotional impact stays and shapes one’s mindset and life choices. Upon being asked if he had moved past those constraints, the 12th Fail actor admitted that he couldn’t as it is his conditioning.
He noted that one is brought up like that for so many years that it almost becomes one’s “paranoia or insecurities.” The actor noted that it becomes a part of one’s personality and even if his times have become better, “that DNA doesn’t change.” The 37-year-old actor stated that he doesn’t have any insecurity, but subconsciously he feels that everything is transient, as has happened to his parents before.
Directed by Dheeraj Sarna, The Sabarmati Report also features Raashii Khanna and Ridhi Dogra in pivotal roles. Produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan, and Anshul Mohan, it was released in theaters earlier this week, on November 15, 2024.
