Vikrant Massey Shares Special Memory of Shah Rukh Khan at National Awards: ‘He Walked Up and Hugged My Mother

National Award-winning actor Vikrant Massey is still cherishing a milestone moment in his career after winning top honours for 12th Fail. At the same ceremony, Vikrant Massey was honoured with the National Award for 12th Fail, while Shah Rukh Khan was also recognised for Jawan, making the moment even more special for both actors. While the recognition itself was monumental, what made the occasion even more special was a deeply personal memory involving his family and superstar Shah Rukh Khan.

Sharing the experience, Vikrant recalled, “She told me, she saw Shah Rukh Khan sitting there. She was like, Sonu, get a photo of Shah Rukh Khan later. Please request him. And he was so generous. He walked over to her. And he had an injury… he was in that brace. And he walked up to her, my wife. And he greeted them. He spent five minutes with them. And the moment he hugged my mother, my mother froze. And she even shed a tear.”

He further added, “Because I think that's the impact Shah Rukh Khan has had on all of us. On a couple of generations, in fact. So, yeah, it was a very special moment.”

These words capture not just a fan moment, but the emotional depth of what Shah Rukh Khan represents to millions. Despite being in discomfort due to an injury, SRK’s gesture of personally walking up and spending time with Vikrant’s family reflects his warmth and humility. For Vikrant’s mother, it was a moment that turned into an overwhelming emotional experience, symbolising years of admiration and connection.
It beautifully blended personal pride with collective nostalgia, making the National Award ceremony truly unforgettable.

On the work front, Vikrant Massey continues to back strong, content-driven cinema, with upcoming projects like White and Musafir Cafe, promising yet another exciting phase in his journey.
