A lot of people on Reddit and Quora often discuss their violent streak and how to overcome it. Why do people viciously hurt people sometimes who upset them?

Vikrant Massey, the actor who will next be seen playing the role of Rishu, a character who also turns violent in Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba, recounted his own experience of almost punching a boy to death in school. He said that this incident changed him forever as it made him realise he could kill someone with his bare hands.

Vikrant Massey punched a boy to death

Massey recently appeared on Prakhar Ke Pravachan podcast and shared about his experience in school. "I'll tell you my own life experience," he said while talking about his character in the forthcoming movie which also stars Taapsee Pannu. "I was doing karate in school, I became aggressive and started feeling invincible. During recess, I punched a boy in the jaw, without realising that he was epileptic," he said.

The boy frothed and lost consciousness following this. Seeing this in front of him, Massey was startled and afraid of what if the boy died. "I realised that I could kill someone," he recalled and added that he didn't feel the pain after the boy's elder brother whacked him left, right and center.

This incident changed the 12th Fail actor completely. I quit Karate. Not just that, he made sure he wouldn't participate in fights anymore even if that meant getting beaten up every time. "After that, I would only get beaten up in fights because I never raised my hand again," he said.

In fact, he never raised his hand again as the memory of a boy frothing right in front of him was afresh. "I got into a few brawls because of friends after that, but I never raised my hand again, because I¡¯m afraid that I can be triggered again."

In real life, the Phir Aayi Hasseen Dillruba actor comes across as a very calm man. Who could have imagined that he had a violent past too. When the host asked him the same, the actor said, "Demeanors can also be deceptive, right?"
