Vikrant Massey reveals how his Christian father, Sikh mother, Muslim brother celebrate all festivals
Vikrant Massey will next appear in *The Sabarmati Report*, based on the 2002 Godhra Riots. On Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, Vikrant shared how he and his family lead an immensely secular life. Vikrant’s parents had an interfaith marriage—his father is Christian, and his mother is Sikh.
What Vikrant said
“My brother does Laxmi puja on the occasion of Diwali. His conversion is his personal choice.On the occasion of Eid, we celebrate it at his place, having biryani.
“My father has been to Vaishno Devi temple (located in Katra, Jammu and Kashmir) six times. He is a Christian and goes to church twice a week even now. You will find Christians whose name is Rahul, Rohit etc. We ourselves go to gurudwaras and many Hindus go to Ajmer Sharif Dargah (located in Rajasthan). This is our Hindustan. There’s a temple in my house. My son’s name is Vardaan.
