Actor Vikrant Massey is currently busy promoting his upcoming film 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba.' The actor recently shared that he once punched a boy in the jaw, unaware that the boy was epileptic. In that moment, he realized the potential to seriously harm someone with his bare hands and resolved never to instigate violence again.
In an interview, Vikrant mentioned that after the incident, he always found himself on the receiving end in fights because he understood the damage he could inflict.

Appearing on the 'Prakhar Ke Pravachan' podcast, Vikrant referenced his character Rishu from the films 'Haseen Dillruba' and its sequel, 'Phir Aayi Haseen Dillruba', noting that Rishu probably recognizes his own violent tendencies and tries to suppress them. "I’ll tell you my own life experience. I was doing karate in school, I became aggressive and started feeling invincible. During recess, I punched a boy in the jaw, not realizing that he was epileptic," he said.
Vikrant continued, "I saw this boy frothing at the mouth and losing consciousness. His older brother came and beat me up. All of this happened in a few seconds. I didn’t feel the pain of being beaten because I was afraid that the boy might die. I quit karate because I realized that I could kill someone. Unfortunately, after that, I only got beaten up in fights because I never raised my hand again."

When the host asked Vikrant if it was actually 'unfortunate' that he wasn't beating people, Vikrant corrected himself, saying, "Fortunately, rather. Thankfully, I never raised my hand on anybody again because the memory of that boy frothing at the mouth was still so vivid. I got into a few brawls because of friends after that, but I never raised my hand again because I’m afraid I could be triggered."
The host noted that Vikrant's demeanor doesn't suggest he could ever 'kill a man,' to which Vikrant responded, "Demeanors can be deceptive, right?"
