Actor Vikrant Massey, during the latest episode of Unfiltered by Samdish, shared how he is part of a diverse family since he was born to a Sikh mother and a Christian father. He also shared how his brother converted to Islam in his teens, and talked about his wife, Sheetal Thakur, who is Hindu. 

Sharing how during the years of his growing up, he witnessed a 바카라˜lot of arguments바카라™ related to religion and spirituality, Vikrant said, 바카라œMy brother바카라™s name is Moeen, I am called Vikrant. You바카라™d wonder why the name Moeen? He converted to Islam, and my family let him change his religion. They said, 바카라˜Beta, if you find satisfaction in this, then go ahead.바카라™ He converted at the age of 17, it is a big step. My mother is Sikhni, my father is church-going Christian, he goes to church twice a week. From a young age, I have seen a lot of arguments related to religion and spirituality.바카라

He further shared how his father was questioned by extended relatives about allowing the conversion of his brother. Vikrant added, 바카라œHe said that was none of their business. 바카라˜He is my son, he is only answerable to me and has all the rights to choose what he wants.바카라™ After seeing this, I went on my own quest, wondering what exactly is religion. It is man made.바카라

The actor, who recently became a father, further asserted that he would teach their baby boy 바카라œrationalism,바카라 apart from showing him things which are 바카라œauthentically Indian바카라. 

바카라œEspecially in the Hindu culture, I do believe in them. It is only because of my cultural affiliation; it doesn바카라™t need to be religious. This is the culture of the majority of people in my country. Diwali is celebrated only in India, so I celebrate it as well. It is my muscle memory, my childhood memory,바카라 he said. 

Vikrant further stated how everything need not be religious but he does it because he바카라™s grown up witnessing it, and hence, has become his lifestyle. 바카라œMy father would do it. He goes to church twice a week, but he also does puja with my mother and my wife. So, it is a beautiful house,바카라 he signed off.

Vikrant was last seen in the film 바카라˜12th Fail바카라™, and the Vidhu Vinod Chopra directorial emerged as the sleeper hit of 2023.
