In a recent interview with Unfiltered by Samdish, actor Vikrant Massey shared intimate details about his family, shedding light on his brother Moeen's conversion to Islam at the age of 17. The actor, known for his roles in various films and web series, opened up about his family's diverse religious backgrounds, stating that while his father, Jolly Massey, is a devout Christian who attends church regularly, his mother, Meena Massey, is Sikh.

Vikrant candidly discussed the reactions within his family when his brother chose to convert, highlighting the supportive environment that allowed Moeen to make this significant decision. "My family let him change his religion," Vikrant said. "They said, 'Beta, if you find satisfaction in this, then go ahead.'" He also shared that this experience led him to question the nature of religion, describing it as a "man-made" construct.

The actor recalled instances where his father faced scrutiny from extended relatives for allowing Moeen to convert. However, Jolly Massey stood by his son's choice, asserting that it was a personal decision and not subject to others' opinions. Vikrant admired his father's unwavering support, stating, "He is my son, he is only answerable to me and has all the rights to choose what he wants."

Vikrant's revelations provide a glimpse into the complexities of religious identity and family dynamics. Despite the challenges and questions raised, the Massey family's story reflects a deep sense of respect for individual beliefs and choices. On a personal front, Vikrant recently welcomed a son with his wife, Sheetal Thakur, whom he married in 2022. The couple shared their joy with a heartfelt announcement, expressing their excitement at becoming parents.
