Vikrant Massey: I’m not ready for a full-fledged television show right now

After making a mark in showbiz with daily soaps like 'Baba Aiso Var Dhundo', 'Balika Vadhu', 'Qubool Hai' and presenting episodics, Vikrant Massey took a 'big' leap in B-Town and debuted in Lootera in 2013. Vikrant says he feels "very happy," having given his profession his "best" and has no regrets about the way his "career has charted out in the last 10 years." His cameo in 'Ajab Gajab Ghar Jamai' marks Vikrant's comeback on the small screen after over a year, and spoke to Ahmedabad Times about matters close to heart in a quick, frank chat.

Talking about his comeback show, Vikrant says, "First of all, my role in Ajab Gajab...is a cameo, so the duration of the role is perfect. I feel TV shows have become very intense now. When I used to watch TV when I was young, it was a fun space which helped us relax and de-stress. Now, all the fiction shows have a lot of drama."

Talking about doing more TV shows, Vikrant says, "I'll never say no to TV projects, but I am not ready for a full-fledged commitment at the moment. I want to focus on my movie assignments. TV requires a lot of time and I have a time constraint." About being his movie journey being compared to other telly actors who're doing films, he says, "Everybody has a different goal and a way of planning his/her career. My goals are not the same as Sushant (Singh Rajput) or any of the other TV actors. It's for our audiences to do the comparisons because we come from the same medium."

Having said that, Vikrant, who had been traveling for his next movie project, is very happy with the way things have shaped up and feels privileged to be working with some of the finest talents in the industry. With more projects in the pipeline, Vikrant is definitely in a happy space.
