Vikrant Massey Apologises For His 2018 Tweet: On Wednesday, actor Vikrant Massey took to his official X account and issued an apology over his 2018 tweet, which has now been taken down. The 12th Fail actor wrote, “In context to one of my Tweets way back in 2018, I’d like to say a few words: It was never my intention to hurt, malign or disrespect the Hindu community."
“But as I reflect in hindsight about a Tweet made in jest, I also release the distasteful nature of it. The same could have been said without adding the cartoon which was published in a newspaper. And I’d with utmost humility like to apologise to each and everyone who has been hurt (folded hands emoji),” he further added.
Vikrant went on to state, “As you all by now know, that I hold all faiths, beliefs and religions with the highest possible regard. We all grow up with time and reflect upon our mistakes. This was mine. Regards.”

According to a report in News18, in his 2018 X post, Vikrant Massey had said, “I’m so glad I was kidnapped by Ravan and not by your bhakts! (Sita was seen telling Lord Ram in a cartoon while she held a newspaper)." "Half baked potatoes and half baked nationalists will only cause a pain in the gut. #KathuaCase #Unnao #Shame.”
Recently, in an interview with Unfiltered by Samdish, Massey spoke about how his brother converted to Islam. He said, “My brother’s name is Moeen, I am called Vikrant. You’d wonder why the name Moeen? He converted to Islam, and my family let him change his religion. They said, ‘Beta (Son), if you find satisfaction in this, then go ahead'.”
