Vikrant Massey: 110 Hours Non-Stop TV Shoot!

Vikrant Massey, who celebrated his 39th birthday on April 3, 2026, recounted the grueling schedules of his early television career. During a podcast interview, he revealed that artists often worked 18-20 hour days, and he himself endured a period of shooting for 110 hours continuously. Scripts were frequently altered to maximize his screen time, blurring the lines between day and night shifts.

Despite achieving significant financial success, including buying his first home at 24 and earning ₹35 lakh per month, Massey decided to leave television at the height of his popularity. He felt the content was regressive and desired to explore opportunities in cinema for greater peace and creative satisfaction. His parents were initially hesitant about his career pivot from television to films.
