Meet Bollywood’s new best friend, Vikrant Massey

The Bombay boy, who is overshadowing filmdom’s most popular, has a smile that warms the heart

Most recently, you’ve seen him as Arjun Kapoor’s best friend in Half Girlfriend (2017) and in Dil Dhadkne Do (2015) as the rich kid whose good looks gave Ranveer Singh some serious competition. Noveau film lovers will remember him from the brilliant Death in the Gunj (2017) as the leading man with complexities that each of us have faced. Yet, it is his role in Lootera (2013) that people remember Vikrant Massey for. He played Ranveer Singh’s best friend and assistant, and that’s how Vikrant became Bollywood’s favourite best friend.

Auditioning for the hero’s best friend was never a deal-breaker. In all pomposity and humility, I wanted to show what I could do as an actor

Vikrant debuted as a school boy in Disney Channel’s Dhoom Machao Dhoom in 2007. (Vikrant wears a shirt from Zara) (Shivangi Kulkarni)
