Vikrant Massey calls his National Award win a 'brainfading moment' — actor gets emotional remembering the biggest milestone of his career

Vikrant Massey, who earned widespread acclaim for his powerful performance in 12th Fail, has opened up about the emotional high of winning the National Award for Best Actor — an achievement that many consider a defining moment in the career of one of today’s most respected performers. The actor revisited the life-changing milestone during his appearance on the Ranveer Allahbadia podcast, where he spoke candidly about what the honour meant to him.

 

Vikrant Massey calls his National Award win a 'brainfading moment' — actor gets emotional remembering the biggest milestone of his career

 

Calling it the pinnacle of his artistic journey, Vikrant revealed just how overwhelming the moment was when the win sank in. “It's the greatest moment of my life. I can't even put it into words. I'd always dreamed of winning a national award. And when you realize your dreams then it becomes a brainfading moment,” he shared, his words reflecting both disbelief and gratitude as he recalled the achievement that has cemented his place among the finest actors of his generation.

 

During the conversation, Vikrant was also asked about a widely circulated photograph he posted last year — one where he held his Filmfare Award for 12th Fail. At the time, many fans interpreted the image as symbolic, almost as if Manoj Kumar Sharma, the real-life inspiration behind the role, was receiving the honour himself. Elaborating on the connection audiences felt with the story, Vikrant explained, “It's such an India story, right? One of the reasons why the film did so well is because there is a Manoj Kumar Sharma inside everyone. Everyone who wants to stand by the right thing. Who wants to genuinely, sincerely in a dignified manner contribute towards their surroundings. Uplift themselves and their families out of dire situations.”

 

His words mirror the sentiment that helped 12th Fail become one of the most celebrated films of recent times — a story rooted in resilience, honesty, and the relentless pursuit of one’s dreams. Vikrant’s portrayal resonated with millions, not just as a performance but as a reflection of the hopes and struggles familiar to people across the country.

 

As he continues his successful trajectory, Vikrant is now gearing up for his next major project, White, where he will step into the role of spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. With his National Award win marking a new chapter, the actor’s journey is one that continues to inspire audiences and reaffirm his reputation as one of India’s most compelling storytellers.
