Actor Vikrant Massey is experiencing one of the proudest moments of his career after being honoured with the National Award for Best Actor at the 71st National Film Awards for his remarkable performance in 12th Fail.

Vikrant Massey reacts to National Award Win for 12th Fail; says, “The feeling has not yet sunk in”
Reacting to the recognition, Massey admitted that the reality hasn’t fully registered yet. “Feeling has not yet sunk in, to be honest. Till the time I don’t take the award from President madam or even see that day, I don’t think the feeling will sink in,” he said humbly, reflecting the disbelief and gratitude of the moment.
The actor, who has built his career steadily with consistent and compelling performances across films and streaming platforms, sees the honour as the fulfilment of a long-cherished dream. “It’s every actor’s dream to win a National Award. I would be lying if I say that I never wanted one. But I’m glad that finally, a big dream has been fulfilled,” he shared with emotion.
However, with this achievement comes a new responsibility. “There’s a bit of pressure too, with this recognition, which is the highest form of recognition any actor can get, to go out there and better myself as an actor, to tell better stories, to represent the common man,” Massey noted. For audiences, this means the promise of even more heartfelt performances and meaningful stories from the actor, who has consistently balanced sincerity with skill in his craft.
12th Fail, directed by veteran filmmaker Vidhu Vinod Chopra, was lauded for its raw, inspirational storytelling. Massey’s portrayal of Manoj Kumar Sharma, a man who rises against daunting odds, resonated deeply with viewers and critics alike, and has now earned him the country’s highest cinematic honour.
On the professional front, Vikrant Massey is set to step into another challenging role as he plays spiritual leader Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in the upcoming biopic White, promising yet another transformative performance.
