Versatile actor Vikrant Massey has delved into the intricate tapestry of his family, shedding light on the diverse religious backgrounds that coexist harmoniously within his household in an exclusive interview with Unfiltered by Samdish.
The actor candidly discussed his elder brother Moeen's conversion to Islam at the age of 17 and the supportive stance their family took.
Religious Tolerance And Acceptance
Vikrant said, ¡°My brother¡¯s name is Moeen, I am called Vikrant. You¡¯d wonder why the name Moeen? He converted to Islam, my family let him change his religion. They said, ¡®Beta (Son), if you find satisfaction in this, then go ahead.¡¯ He converted at the age of 17, it is a big step." The actor highlights the importance of religious tolerance and personal choice within his family dynamic, emphasising that his mother is Sikh, and his father is a devoted Christian who attends church twice a week.
Defying Norms And Embracing Individual Choices
Facing scrutiny from extended relatives about Moeen's conversion, Vikrant shares his father's unwavering response: "He is my son, he is only answerable to me and has all the rights to choose what he wants." This experience prompted Vikrant to embark on a personal quest to understand the essence of religion, leading him to the realisation that it is a man-made construct.
