Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur recently welcomed a son together after tying the knot in 2022. Before that, the couple dated for almost eight years and stayed in a live-in relationship. Recently, the 12th Fail actor discussed the importance of being in a live-in before taking the big step of getting married. However, while discussing it, the actor admitted that he was ‘scared’ to talk about the same.
In a recent interview with Lallantop, the actor was asked about his view on live-in relationships, to which the actor replied nervously, “I believe in live-in relationships, but again, I am not propagating it.” He then quickly told the interviewer, “You have put me in a tight spot” as hundreds of youth watched him in the audience. He added, “I am speechless. I am even scared to openly talk about it.” After taking a pause, the actor shared, “It worked for me because it is very important to fully understand the person you are planning to marry before you take the big step.”
Explaining his reasons for it, he said, “Because my wife and I are in the same profession, we thought ‘why not live together?’. This way, we could also be each other’s support system. It worked quiet well for me, but doesn’t always works for everybody.”
Feeling a little conscious to speak about it, Vikrant said, “I don’t really know what to say, because I am really scared to talk about it.”
He then shifted the topic to the importance of choosing the right partner and said, “Love is important. It’s good if you fall in love, but it is important that you choose the right partner. Because when you choose the right person, you live life better. However, I also believe that when it comes to life-changing decisions such as career choice and choosing a partner, it is better to keep your family in loop and consideration.”
Previously, talking about his decision to stay in a live-in with his now wife Sheetal Thakur, Vikrant told YouTuber AminJaz on his podcast, “It was my mother who suggested that we stay together. Thankfully, I have really progressive parents. My mother was born and raised in Bombay (Mumbai) in 1962. She’s done her high school education and was pretty progressive. She would listen to bands like ABBA and Boney M, wear stilettos and read Sidney Sheldon and Jawaharlal Nehru. So, that helped. She recommended that we stay together and it worked for us.”
Vikrant Massey and Sheetal Thakur tied the knot on February 18, 2022, in a traditional ceremony in Himachal Pradesh.
