In a candid conversation with actress Rhea Chakraborty on her YouTube channel, Vikrant spoke about experimenting with PR-driven appearances and high-end fashion. He felt compelled to keep up with industry trends. 'Not that I didn't try, I did try it for a good 4–5 months.
I started attending parties, I started renting out clothes, they are so expensive. It costs so much money to wear those clothes just once,' Vikrant admitted.

That's our expense for an entire month',' he shared.
Vikrant shared how unnatural the experience felt. Going to the parties and wearing such ultra-expensive clothes made him feel very self-conscious. He was anxious about the outfit getting dirty, as he had to return it to the designer after the event. He realised that it was not helping his personality or comfort. He spoke about it when some people encouraged him to do so. 'It suits other people. So it's not like I am right and they are wrong, that thing was wrong for me,' he added.

Vikrant Massey On His Romantic Debut In Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan: 'Had To Challenge Myself'
Starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, this romantic musical makes for a perfect monsoon watch in cinemas on 11th July 2025. Vikrant Massey is all set to for his first romantic film titled Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan co starring debutant Shanaya Kapoor. The makers have also released the trailer, which is getting immense love from all corners. Recently, the actor opened up about his upcoming film and said that he wanted to challenge himself. Vikrant Massey shared his experience of working in his first romantic musical film. 'When I started my career, the kind of films that inspired me to become an actor were slightly offbeat. As my career progressed, I never really got the chance to do a unique romantic film. So I knew I had to challenge myself. When Mansi brought this script to me along with Varun, I felt this was the right story at the right time in my journey. I'm also grateful to Mansi for portraying the blind community not with pity, but with dignity and that truly moved me," he shared. Talking about the film's theme, producer, writer, and creator Mansi Bagla shares, 'I believe love can never go wrong, and when it's true love, it happens organically. Love should be authentic and simple. We often talk about reaching for the moon and stars, but love isn't about grand gestures like that. It's really about understanding, and that's the most important part. Love is the simplest emotion, yet also the most difficult to navigate." Aankhon Ki Gustaakhiyan is poised to bring back the OG essence of Bollywood's romance. The trailer offers a peek into a romantic musical that brings together love, heartbreak, and betrayal. Vikrant Massey steps into a romantic zone for the first time and promises to make the audience feel the purity of love. Debutant Shanaya Kapoor brings a sense of depth and ease to her role, making it look very natural. In addition to this, the film's romantic appeal is enhanced by the soulful musical score, created by Vishal Mishra. Starring Vikrant Massey and Shanaya Kapoor, this romantic musical makes for a perfect monsoon watch in cinemas on 11th July 2025. First Published: July 02, 2025, 15:52 IST

Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira pens emotional note about life after his death, remembers late dad: ‘Our world will never be the same'
Sunjay Kapur's sister Mandhira Kapur recently shared a post remembering her father Surinder Kapur on his 10th death anniversary. Surinder also died in June. Penning an emotional note, Mandhira also remembered her brother, who passed away last month and said, 'Our world will never be the same.' Sharing a note for her father, Mandhira wrote, 'In the footsteps of a visionary, we find the strength to forge ahead and build a brighter future. His legacy lives on in every innovation, every achievement, and every dream we pursue. With gratitude, we honour a leader whose dedication and passion continues to inspire us all.' Sharing the post, she captioned it: 'Missing dad today. Can't believe it's been 10 years. Bhaiya and him are together looking down on us. Miss them, our world will never be the same.' Mandhira's post received the support of celebs like Mozes Singh and Bhavana Pandey. They dropped folded hands emojis in the post's comments section. A post shared by Mandhira Kapur (@mandhirakapursmith) Just a week before, Mandhira had shared another emotional post remembering her brother. She shared several throwback photos on her Instagram handle and penned a long note. In the post, she shared that she was not in talking terms with her brother for the past four years. 'My brother and I may not have spoken for the last 4 years, a silly sibling squabble escalated to crazy levels due to egos and natural bullishness, however, that will never take back what we were and what we had.' A post shared by Mandhira Kapur (@mandhirakapursmith) However, she regretted that she couldn't fix things between her and Sunjay. She wrote, 'What happened towards the end has been both horrible and pointless, I will never have my moments with him again. We will never be us and it is devastating that we didn't fix what had become broken and so now my heart is the same. I am sure he knew despite our recent estrangement that I loved him and in my soul I am sure he shared the same hope as I, that one day we would be as amazing as we were for the first 47 years. Of this I am sure and take some small comfort.'
