Actor Vikrant Massey who recently gave a super hit movie, shared about his diverse family- Sikh mother, a Christian father, a brother who converted to Islam in his teens, a Hindu wife, and Vikrant himself.
Vikrant shared about his brother, he 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. My Family said, ‘Beta, if you find satisfaction with this, then go ahead. He converted at the age of 17, it is a big step. My mother is Sikhni, my father is church-going Christian, he goes to church twice a week. From a young age, I have seen a lot of arguments related to religion and spirituality.”
Vikrant further added, “My father was questioned by my extended relatives about how he could ‘allow’ that (brother’s conversion). He said that was none of their business. ‘He is my son, he is only answerable to me and has all the rights to choose what he wants.’ After seeing this, I went on my own quest, wondering what exactly is religion. It is man made.”
