Vikrant Massey has gained widespread acclaim for his role in 12th Fail. Though the movie was Massey’s first commercial success, the actor has been around for a while now, with movies like A Death In The Gunj and Haseen Dillruba under his belt.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter India, Massey revealed how people’s behaviour changed towards him after 12th Fail found the success it did.
“Not just people on sets; I think most places. People are nicer. Especially in the film business because the film has done well and I’ve picked up a few awards, they’ve started seeing me in a different light. But it doesn’t surprise me. Neither do I take it seriously, nor do I have any disdain towards it,” Massey shared.
When asked if he enjoyed the changed attitude, Massey said he takes it in humour: “I mean, I see it as dark humour, actually. It’s funny because I’ve seen this in life, and now that I’m experiencing it firsthand, I know that such is the nature of life. That’s how it’s always been even way before I existed. And it’ll continue to be so even after I’m gone. But when you’re experiencing it yourself you try seeing the humour in all of it.”
The actor added that he often tells his wife that people who rarely wanted to chat with him are now happy to even exchange numbers. “I go back home and I tell my wife, ‘You know, I bumped into a person who would look through me or probably avoid me four years ago, but now when I walk into the same room, the same person is warmer than expected. They want to stand with you for five more minutes and talk to you, even want to exchange numbers with you.’ But that’s dark humour. I see it that way.”
Arouba Kabir, Emotional & Mental Health professional, Founder Enso wellness, explained that everyone desires connections with those who bring positivity and can uplift us in our lives. “Unfortunately, it’s become more about our career’s success than our personality and when that happens, feelings of confusion and disconnection can arise. Trust issues may surface, but it’s important to understand that people often seek connections during successful times rather than disengaging in failure,” she said.
This complex dynamic requires mindfulness and acceptance; many individuals are preoccupied with their own emotions and may not consider yours. Understanding this can help navigate these challenging social waters more effectively, Kabir advised.
