Actor Vikrant Massey recently shared his unique perspective on religion, explaining how his family’s diverse faith background has shaped his open-minded views. In a recent interview, he talked about growing up in a household that embraced multiple religions, thanks to his Christian father and Sikh mother. Today, Vikrant’s family continues this multi-faith tradition, with a blend of religions that includes his brother’s conversion to Islam and his wife’s Hindu roots.
Vikrant Massey On Following No Particular Religion
Vikrant Massey expressed pride in his family’s approach to religious inclusivity, explaining that they celebrate various religious holidays with equal enthusiasm. His family observes Christmas, Eid, and Gurpurab, welcoming traditions from each faith and celebrating them as a way to stay connected to his family’s multicultural roots. He believes that his home represents the true spirit of India, where multiple religions can coexist peacefully, showing mutual respect.
The actor highlighted that these diverse values extend beyond his immediate family. His extended relatives also come from different religious backgrounds; for example, his aunt, a Sikh, is married to a Muslim, and his cousin married a Gujarati man. His own marriage to a Rajput Thakur further adds to the family’s religious diversity. Vikrant and his wife even have a temple in their home, demonstrating that they continue to embrace a respectful blend of beliefs rather than adhering to a single faith.

This worldview stems from his upbringing, where he saw different perspectives on faith coexisting within his family.
