‘WhatsApp number was leaked’: Vikrant Massey recalls online abuse after ‘The Sabarmati Report’ release · telegraphindia.com

A famous Indian actor named Vikrant Massey makes movies for a living.

He made a movie about a very sad event called the Godhra train burning.

Some people got very angry about the movie.

They wrote mean messages and called the movie bad names online.

Some bad people even shared his private phone number and car number on the internet.

This made him feel sad and scared, especially because his baby son was only six months old.

At first it hurt him a lot, but he later decided those people are cowards.

He said the people who matter most are his family.

He even took a break from acting to spend time with his son and his father.

Now he is back and was recently seen in a Netflix show called The Musafir Cafe.

Vikrant Massey

Indian actor discussing online abuse after a film

“"I did a film called The Sabarmati Report and I am extremely proud of that film. When I did that film, people used the word you used — propaganda. People called that film propaganda. We made it on the Godhra train burning. We made it on the burning of the Sabarmati Express. I had to listen to a lot of abuses. My WhatsApp number was leaked. My car number was leaked. People threatened me openly."”

“"However, over time, I realised that they are all cowards and it doesn’t matter to me what people talk about me. What matters is that my own people are my responsibility. I am answerable to them."”
